ABSTRACT:
A parts feeder for feeding a plurality of parts along an annular conveyance path and a linear conveyance path connected to the annular conveyance path comprises an adjustment device which is provided midway along the annular conveyance path and which adjusts the parts, and a fill detector which is provided midway along the linear conveyance path and which detects filling of the linear conveyance path with the parts and generates a fill signal in order to stop parts feed to the linear conveyance path when the linear conveyance path is filled with the parts. A compressed air feeder is located in the vicinity of the adjustment device. The compressed air feeder blows compressed air against at least the parts located at the adjustment device in order to remove the parts from the adjustment device while the parts feed to the linear conveyance path is being stopped.
