ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for isolating a plurality of parts is operable, with, e.g., an image recognizing apparatus which records the position and configuration of the parts, and a conveying and placing apparatus used to align the parts on a part alignment section. The part isolating apparatus includes an isolation table having a centrally located bore defined by a surface sloping downwardly toward the center of the table, and a frame member for supporting the table. A bag member is mounted around the lower edge of the table for receiving a plurality of parts and includes an isolation frame for holding a part to be isolated. A thrusting head vertically lifts the bottom of the bag member. When the thrusting head ascends through the bore, one of the parts becomes isolated from the others. Another form of the part isolating apparatus comprises a bag member receiving a plurality of parts, a frame for supporting the bag member, and an isolation frame mounted on a lower inner surface of the bag member for supporting an isolated part. An ascending device raises and lowers the isolation frame from a position wherein the bag member is suspended to a position wherein the bag member is inverted. The part isolated from the others is supported by the isolation frame at its ascended position. The apparatus is capable of isolating parts and aligning their attitude, regardless of the varying type or shape of the parts.
