    The document proposes an automated process to load spikes into a spiker gun more efficiently, involving sorting spikes from a bulk bin into an upright orientation through a series of sorting stations using vibration, gravity, and mechanical manipulation to prepare the spikes for automated feeding. A working model was developed that sorted spikes through individual processes and exceeded the required feed rate of 40 spikes per minute. However, further refinement is needed to address issues identified during testing of the spike sorting and orientation processes.

    Scope:
    - Develop a process to automate loading of spikes to spiker gun.
    - Requires sorting of spikes from bulk random orientations to a
    uniform, upright orientation.
    Considerations:
    - Possibility of rearranging tractor for implementation of process

    - Spikes start in bulk bin
    - Spikes delivered via
    existing hydraulic ram
    - Quantity of spikes
    delivered controlled by
    surface area of ram

    allow the body of the
    spike fall through a slot

    - Push bulk of spikes by


    ram to fall onto slotted

    - Vibration and gravity
    help spikes to fall into
    slot

    - Timing of Push Fork is necessary


    - Multiple Push Fork mechanisms to ensure success
