ABSTRACT:
A vibratory bowl for fragile parts is externally dimensioned to a standard height for a particular type of fragile parts to be oriented. The vibratory bowl is configured to reduce, if not eliminate, impact damage as well as wear and tear on fragile parts. The vibratory bowl includes a base and an annular wall having a helical parts track coupled to the base. The helical parts track extends along an inner surface of the annular wall from the base to a parts discharge port of the annular wall. In a preferred embodiment, the helical parts track makes approximately one and a quarter turns or less along the inner surface of the annular wall, and the height of the base is equal to or greater than the height of the annular wall.
