An autoloader is a device or tool that automatically loads objects or materials without the need for human intervention. However, there are several other terms used to describe this type of machinery. For instance, an automatic feeder, a self-loading system, or a self-feeder can all refer to an autoloader. Sometimes, the term "hopper" is used to refer to the storage compartment or container that stores the materials or objects before they are loaded. Additionally, the term "feed mechanism" may be used to refer to the component of an autoloader that controls the process of automatic loading. Whatever the terminology used, the principles of autoloading remain the same, and any device that can perform this function efficiently can be labeled an autoloader.
