Micro-spreading technique A vibratory feeder is a device transforming electro-magnetically produced vibrations by means of magnet, magnet armature and leaf springs into mechanical vibrations and uses them to convey loads. The targeted conveying movement of the work piece is based on the micro-spreading principle, where the form of movement of the conveying device forces the work piece into a micro spreading movement. A Work piece B Conveyor track α Angle of trajectory β Angle of inclination γ Angle of ascent The conditions of movement can be described as follows: 1 Stationary condition 2...

Reactive force compensation Conventional 2-mass vibration system Counter vibration principle Coupled counter-vibration principle Reactive forces Useful mass Counter mass Base attached to the underground Reactive force compensation Afag bowl feeder WV and linear LF feeders operate on the conventional twin-mass vibration principle. The reactive force created by the vibration of the useful mass (m1) is compensated by a larger foundation (counter) mass (m2). Afag bowl feeder BF and linear HLF and KLF feeders operate on the counter vibration principle with reactive force compensation. Here a...

Linear feeder The Afag hybrid Magnet or piezo

HLF - the new Afag generation of linear feeders stands for Hybrid Linear Feeder. Depending on application, the drive technology best suited for the project-specific requirements can be selected for this new type of linear feeder. The drive systems available include the familiar actuation based on an oscillating magnet (HLF-M) and a new patented piezoelectric drive (HLF-P). The mechanical interfaces are identical irrespective of the drive system. This allows the drive system to be changed easily. The advantages of the piezo driven linear feeder are particularly evident when feeding extremely...
