For more efficiency in production
Our core competence is feeding technology. We rely on proven components: Our step feeder is one of the feeding systems that is most widely used. They are characterized by a well-thought-out construction, optimal feeding performance and high reliability. The gentle handling of the conveyed parts, a low noise pollution and the fulfillment of special requirements round off the advantages. Our step feeders are primarily used for pre-sorting and dosed loading of our VIBROLINER.
The VIBROLINER is the heart of the technology at IFSYS. Thanks to a wide variant of sizes and many integration options, the use of VIBROLINERS in our feeding systems is the basis for optimum quality and reliability in part feeding. With the use of a VIBROLINER, parts feeding is gentle and quiet. Compared to other linear vibratory conveyors, the VIBROLINER has a low profile as well as the ability to utilize exchange tooling.
Always the perfect solution
We are guided by you and your demands: There is almost nothing in the world of feeding technology, which we do not make possible for you. No matter whether it's tubes, rods or Ball feeders, spiral conveyors, storage or lift systems - we have designed and built. The right solution for your needs.
Feeding technology for magnets: IFSYS convinces with many years of experience, especially when precise parts provision and high conveying capacities are required. Feeding systems from IFSYS convince with a gentle, almost damage-free, fast and precise provision for the transfer and transfer of non-magnetized magnet blanks. Concepts for batch tracing, fast changeover for type changes and devices for setting the magnets are among the special developments of the IFSYS magnet feeders.
The IFSYS tube and bar feeders can be adjusted for all material diameters and lengths, and offer a wide range of test options. Equipped with variable transfer height and a high feeding capacity of up to 120 parts/minute.
The IFSYS ball feeders with geared motor are variably configured for spheres with a diameter of 3.9 to 24 mm (other diameters on request). The output is up to 360 parts material feed/minute.
Also extremely reliable in tough continuous operation: The IFSYS spiral feeders can be individually adjusted to almost all bulk goods. Fault-free transfer from round to linear with the IFSYS external spiral systems. Ideal for combination with tried and tested IFSYS technology.
The IFSYS storage systems are the solution for manual loading, which is possible on multiple tracks and on multiple levels. Suitable for combination with the IFSYS separation and test systems.
The slimline IFSYS lift systems require minimal space and are suitable for all lifting heights and traversing speeds. Design with minimal drop heights, maximum part protection and low noise emissions.
Feeding technology refers to mechanical or automated systems that feed components in an organized, reliable, and correctly oriented manner into the production process. It ensures that parts can be processed precisely and increases efficiency in production lines.
IFSYS solutions are flexible and can also perform additional functions such as measuring, testing, weighing, counting, or packaging. Development, design, and manufacturing are carried out entirely in-house – Made in Germany.
IFSYS develops and manufactures a variety of feeding systems to meet different requirements. These include, among others:
Step conveyors
Vibroliner®
Magnetic feeding systems
Tube and bar feeding systems
Ball feeding systems
Spiral conveyors
Storage systems

Flexible feeding systems for frequently changing products and systems with optical sorting technology
Custom systems such as conveyors for tubes and bars, ball feeders, planar storage units, magazine systems, or palletizing systems
Each system is individually tailored to the components, cycle times, and production processes.
IFSYS feeding systems can be designed for almost all types of components. Each of our systems is individually adapted and optimized.
Our standard range includes:
Screws
Nuts
Balls
Rods
Tubes
Magnets
Electronic components
Plastic parts
Metal parts
Rubber parts
Springs
Complex mechanical components
Even asymmetrical parts or those with challenging centers of gravity can be handled reliably. With optical sorting technology, products with changing or complex geometries can also be sorted precisely and flexibly.
The systems are flexible and can handle components ranging from small, lightweight parts to large, heavy ones – from delicate electronic contacts to large sheet metal parts. The maximum size depends on the chosen feeding system.
Whether round, square, flat, or complexly shaped components made of metal, plastic, or other materials, each system is individually adapted to the shape, weight, and material of the parts.
The systems are used in numerous industries, including:
They are particularly suitable for applications where high precision, speed, and process reliability are required.
A step conveyor transports components as bulk material using movable sliding plates and delivers them in a controlled manner to subsequent systems, for example, to a Vibroliner®.
Opposing sliding movements ensure uniform and precise dosing. Step conveyors are particularly suitable for applications where gentle and controlled component feeding is required.
The step conveyor is also known as a step lift conveyor, step pusher, or step plate conveyor. All terms describe the same feeding system, which transports components in an orderly and gentle manner. It operates quietly, offers variable discharge heights with an ergonomic filling height, and is often used for pre-sorting or dosed feeding of the Vibroliner®.
A Vibroliner® is a linear, vibration-based feeding system that gently separates, aligns, and reliably delivers components to subsequent processes via a sorting chicane mounted on a vibrating track. Low-frequency vibrations move the parts in a controlled manner along the sorting rail—without jamming and with minimal stress. The system is flexible for different component sizes, cycle times, and storage requirements. Interchangeable sorting rails enable quick changeovers.
Vibroliners® are used wherever precise, reliable, and gentle feeding is required.
The Vibroliner® is also referred to as:
Vibratory feeder
Vibro feeding system
Linear feeder
The basic principle is the same: components are transported and aligned using controlled vibration.
Yes. All IFSYS systems are individually tailored to the customer’s requirements.
This includes, for example:
Individual cycle times
Integration into existing production lines
Space-saving or modular system designs
High reliability and precision
Gentle handling of components
Low susceptibility to malfunctions
Flexible adaptation to production processes
Low noise levels
Energy-saving and efficient
Easy integration thanks to modular design
Technology transfer from the automotive industry, applicable to other sectors
A tube and rod feeding system automatically aligns elongated components such as tubes, rods, or profiles and reliably delivers them to the production process.
The systems can be flexibly adapted to different diameters and lengths and can achieve feeding rates of up to 120 parts per minute.
A ball feeding system ensures that balls or other round components are automatically aligned, dosed, and gently transferred to assembly or testing systems.
The systems can be adjusted for different ball diameters and are available as single- or multi-lane systems.
A spiral conveyor system transports components along a spiral-shaped conveyor track and is particularly suitable for space-saving transport between different heights.
IFSYS spiral conveyors can be cylindrical, stepped, or conical in design and are made of steel, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application.
A storage system stores components between production steps and ensures a continuous supply of materials. Parts are stacked in a magazine and then individually fed as needed. Loading is usually done manually. This solution is particularly suitable for sensitive components or parts that are not suitable for bulk handling.
A lift system transports components between different levels of a production line. It enables space-saving and gentle material flow and can be combined with other feeding systems.
“Everything from a single source” means that IFSYS takes care of the entire process: planning, development, manufacturing, and integration of the feeding technology. Customers receive complete, perfectly coordinated systems.
This vertical range of manufacture, coupled with our wide selection of different systems, makes us the ideal partner when it comes to feeding components of all kinds.
