Dead Nests

Dead nests create a stable, non-vibrating section of track where parts stop and settle before moving to the next step in the automation process. “Dead” means there’s no motion or vibration, and the part simply drops or slides into place by gravity or from the feeder system. The “nest” is the shaped pocket that holds the part in a precise, consistent orientation. Dead nests are used when the next process needs a steady, repeatable pick point often for a robot or pick-and-place unit.
