ABSTRACT:
A machine and process for automatically coating a plurality of objects, each object having a first magnetic end and a second end. At one end of the machine is a feeding area containing a revolving drum having a plurality of parallel rows of magnets affixed thereon. The magnets are arranged in pairs having opposite polarity so that each pair may attract a magnetic end of one of the objects in the bin and can align the magnetic end therebetween. Parallel and adjacent to each row of magnets is a receiving bar which is also affixed to the drum. As the drum revolves, gravity encourages the second ends into the channels in the receiving bars, to be clamped therein by a tension mounted clamp, leaving the magnetic ends now free. Adjacent to the revolving drum containing the clamped objects is a conveyor with a plurality of grippers to receive the exposed magnetic ends of the objects and remove them from the drum. The objects are then mechanically held by their magnetic ends such that the second ends hang free beneath the conveyor for passage through cleaning, coating and drying stations prior to release.
