Overview: Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH (RNA) is a German company specializing in custom feeding systems and components, known for quality and reliability. Their product range includes linear feeders, drive units, and accessories.
Specifications: RNA's linear feeders are designed for high-output linear sorting and orientation, handling irregular part supplies and ensuring smooth process flow. They are recognized for performance and reliability under demanding conditions.
Product Range: The document describes several series of linear feeders, such as GL, SLS, SLK, SLA, SLL, and SLF, each with unique features. For instance, the GL series uses horizontally fitted springs, while SLA, SLL, and SLF series offer adjustable spring angles and interchangeable profiles.
Selection and Usage: A selection diagram assists in choosing the appropriate feeder type based on track length and weight. Detailed specifications for each series include dimensions, weight capacities, and electrical requirements.
Technical Features: Notable features include patented spring angle adjustments, flexible tooling fastening, and interchangeable profiles. The feeders meet high standards, including UL and CSA certifications, suitable for industries like food and pharmaceuticals.
Recommendations: For optimal performance, RNA suggests using counterweights for extended tracks and provides additional spring assemblies for special applications. The feeders integrate easily with other RNA products for seamless automation.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for models like SLL 800, 804, and SLF 1000 include dimensions, weight, track length, current input, protection class, vibrating frequency, and suitable stand types. Some models support higher track weights with heavier counter masses and performance magnets.
Procedures and Recommendations: Recommended mounting ratios for track length and vibrator top length are provided, along with additional spring assemblies and sliding blocks for track mounting. Voltage options include 200V/50 Hz, with special options available upon request.
Stand and Mounting Options: Various stand options, such as UTL and ULJ, allow for easy assembly and height adjustment, enhancing stability for larger structures. Mounting plates and sensor holders facilitate installation.
Accessories: Accessories like shock absorbers and lateral vibration limits increase stability and control vibrations, designed for easy integration with RNA feeders.

Linear feeders from RNA Linear feeders from RNA for in line feeding of components and much more Linear feeders from RNA enable a linear sorting (linear sorting track). They can also be used for the orientation of components and provide higher outputs with a mulit-track design. Misorientated components are returned to prefeeders via a chute and vibration tray. In addition to horizontal conveying of components, linear feeders can be used to handle irregular supplies of parts from upstream equipment, creating a buffer store and smooth flow for further processes. Another use of linear feeders is...

The GL series of RNA linear feeders have horizontally fitted springs instead of the traditional vertical arrangement. Feeding resembles more of a sliding motion as opposed to the “projecting” of parts commonly seen on other linear feeders. The smooth and gentle movement provided by this linear means that it is highly recommended when feeding and transferring thin components.

Series SLA, SLL and SLF The RNA linear feeders series SLA, SLL and SLF are renowned for the following three characteristics: 1. A patented adjustment of the spring angle without altering the gap setting 2. Flexible fastening of tooling into a continuous channel. 3. Interchangeable vibrating profiles. Version B – large Version S - small One of the main advantages of the SLA, SLL and SLF series (Pat-No. 4312711-DE) is the patented adjustment of spring angles to maintain the magnet gap setting. The spring angles can be adjusted externally and separately to meet special requirements e.g. a higher...

SLA 175 and SLA 400 The linear feeder type SLA ensures a defined and precise interface to bowl and linear feeders or separations. Through a stiff fixation of the linear feeder the SLA shows a steady running behaviour independently from the connected mass of the substructure and therefore, takes no influences from the environment. Lateral oscillation is avoided, resulting in a stable transition with safe feeding, particularly with critical workpiece geometries. The bolt-fixing is completely free of resilient elements and adjusted drilling holes simplify the adjustment of the linear track junction...
