ABSTRACT:
A light contact feeder uses a pair of individually controlled conveyor belts to receive randomly spaced articles and to deliver the articles in a lightly abutted arrangement. The feeder uses a trio of accumulator scanners above an accumulator belt to control belt speed and deliver lightly abutted articles to a metering belt. The metering belt delivers the articles at proper speed and phase to an article processing machine.
