A short section of interior track that slides in and out. The length depends on the size of the bowl. This can also be an external type, usually placed on the bowl just after the exit to the outside of the bowl. It is a piece of metal formed to fit at 90 degrees to the track and bolted on and is adjustable horizontally to limit parts to a single layer on the track. Horizontal Cam An irregularly shaped piece of metal usually placed inside the bowl at different points above the parts to control the parts level on the track.
Tab mounts transfer vibration much better than toe clamps.
A short straight section of two parallel pieces of metal sometimes used to select or orient parts. Deflector A short strip of metal placed on the inside of the bowl bottom to guard the return hole and to allow parts to flow evenly back up the track from the return pan. Properly placed conversion tooling turns around or turns over a part to the proper position to orient or for orientation. This means a higher feed rate can be achieved. It also minimizes recirculation of parts, thus extending the life of the bowl, especially with regard to metal or heavily abrasive parts.
