Right, you make the step at least 12 units wide, and since the axles are
laying on their side in the bin, they'll... this is confusing to try and
describe in words.

Yeah, thats what I meant too :)

What normally happens is then at the top you have a horizontal conveyor that
whisks the parts in-line off to the side. So that way you just run the
conveyor until a piece falls off, turn off conveyor. When you want another
piece you turn it on again. When there arent any left on the conveyor you
run the stepfeeder again.

It's becuase we found a better servomotor and drive supplier. :) We just
bought the motors and drives. Those are very difficult to make, so no we
don't make our own motors.
FANUC makes the big yellow articulateds everyone's surely familiar with;
they tried geting into the injection moulded plastics industry, but that
style of robot is waaaaaay overkill for what needs to be done. It's not
very well accepted to put an aritulated on an IMM.
IE, why pay 500k for a FANUC articulated when you can buy a 50k linear robot
that does the exact same thing, only faster? Perching an articulated on top
of a moulding machine doesn't make a lot of sense unless you've got some
really, really funky part that needs some funk to it. And has to have a
funky move.
