Magazine Accumulators

A side by side view of an empty magazine, and one that has collected two balls. The caption reads "This magazine uses a powered intake at its front to pull in balls then keeps them indexed in a straight line. The structure features two vertical C channels connected with standoffs at the top, with rotating gears on the bottom to intake the balls.

Magazine Accumulators

A magazine accumulator loads one object at a time into some sort of storage area and holds in a fixed orientation, in line (i.e. the first object in is the last object out). In this type of accumulator, the objects are typically not actively manipulated once they are inside the storage area.
