EFFICIENT FEEDING Step feeder system

For the best in efficiency, intelligence and technical cleanliness – the new DEPRAG step feeder system: eacy step feed Specially designed for longer screws! The complete system, comprising a storage container, material-handling technology, linear conveyor, separator, housing and controller – specially designed for longer screws – offers hassle-free, reliable operation with 24V technology, independent from mains voltage and mains frequency. The DEPRAG step feeder system combines all the advantages of a step feeder with the outstanding energy-efficiency of DEPRAG’s vibration and regulating...

Any particles generated in the feeding area are caught and expelled

The feeding system eacy step feed exhibits particularly gentle handling of feed material. Vibration is only used in the vicinity of the linear feed rails. A brushless electric motor, controlled by the smart energy-efficient PFC100 controller, is used to drive the feed plates. The controller also regulates conveyor speed, supporting the gentle feeding of parts. This gentle part handling and low-friction feeding guarantees that particle build-up is kept to an absolute minimum. However, there is also the option of adding vacuum suction equipment to boost technical cleanliness at certain...

Main features of the step feeder The feed material is quietly fed in stages over linear feed plates from the storage container towards the feed rails. A brushless electric motor, controlled by the smart energy-efficient PFC100 controller, is used to drive the feed plates. The controller also regulates conveyor speed, supporting the gentle feeding of parts. The integrated sequence controller PFC100 regulates the complete feeding process for -EP and 11911-x designs used in combination with handheld screwdrivers. Each new cycle is triggered via a start impulse. This significantly reduces...

The feed material is geometrically aligned in the feed rails. A linear conveyor then transports the feed parts towards the separator. Fill level sensors in the storage container and the feed rails measure and regulate the feed rate. In the separator the feed material is separated and pre-positioned to be shot through the feed hose or for pick-up using vacuum tool or gripper. However, there is also the option of adding vacuum suction equipment to boost technical cleanliness at certain interface points.

In combination with DEPRAG storage systems – optimize processing by maintaining a constant fill level – no need to adjust the feed rate DEPRAG storage systems are an ideal complement to your feed system for a significant increase in refill intervals. Flexible No need for costly modifications when using a variety of feeders. The hopper outlet is adjustable to the size of the component. Additional regulating options allow the hopper to be adjusted into two different directions. Low noise and wear-resistant The outflow-chute is enclosed, resulting into a substantial reduction in noise....

Upgrade features for TECHNICAL CLEANLINESS for clean room applications The DEPRAG CleanFeed concept for each processing step – from component handling and feeding to fastening – prevent, reduce and remove abrasion. The CleanFeed concept – a universal solution! Avoid abrasion The aim is to avoid the creation of particle deposits when feeding the fastener and during the actual screwdriving process. Reduce abrasion If the screw is fed directly to the assembly, particle contamination cannot be ruled out. We developed the DEPRAG Particle Killer for issues such as these. This system cleans the...
