Abstract :
The phenomenon of vibration-assisted entrapment is analyzed in the context of a vibratory parts feeder - the SONY automated parts orienting system (APOS). Entrapment is treated as an energy minimization process. Mechanisms of energy increase and decrease are described. Conditions that lead to failure of entrapment are discussed for a planar part-relief system
