Step Feeder Product System Overview

The Step Feeder system is designed for efficient and reliable screw feeding with advanced features to improve production efficiency and reduce errors.

Product Advantages

• Noise Reduction: Special structural design minimizes impact noise and vibration, reducing debris generation and enabling effective cleaning.
• Low Screw Jamming Rate: Mechanical upgrades to pushing, feeding, and distribution tracks reduce screw jamming to as low as 2 per 10,000 screws, with spring flat washer screw jamming rates below 0.02%.
• High Reliability: System optimization achieves a screw jamming rate of 50 PPM, surpassing industry standards.
• Advanced Control System: Expanded communication modes allow networked management and intuitive problem localization, overcoming spatial limitations.
• High Accuracy Screw Length Detection: Built-in error-proof technology detects long and short screws with ±1 mm accuracy.
• Wide Screw Specification Compatibility: Supports screws ranging from M1 to M12, accommodating various types and sizes.
• Non-Destructive Cleaning: Multi-dimensional structures for material pushing and feeding ensure screws are cleaned without damage.
• Expandable Functionality: Various expansion modules can be configured to enhance and perfect the screw feeding process.

Technical Specifications and Parameters

• Screw Types and Sizes: Compatible with standard screws, combination screws, and self-tapping screws with diameter ranges approximately from M1 to M12 and length-to-diameter ratios (L/D) between 0.6 and 6.0 depending on model.
• Models and Capacities: Multiple Step Feeder models (e.g., 0.8L, 1.25L, 2L, 4L) with varying capacities and dimensions to suit different production needs.
• Power and Air Supply: Operates on DC 24V power supply (guest supply voltage 220V/50Hz), rated power ranges from 1.25W to 4W, with rated air pressure around 0.4 to 0.6 MPa and air consumption approximately 0.2 to 0.8 m3/min.
• Noise Levels: Noise values measured at 1 meter distance range from 50 to 60 dB, excluding solenoid valve blowing sound.
• Dimensions and Weight: Physical dimensions vary by model, with height including brackets and cleaning modules specified; weights range from approximately 2 kg upwards.
• Additional Features: Includes I/O lines, power cords, and blow screw tubes with specified lengths for integration into production lines.

Operational and Application Notes

• Designed primarily for screw feeding applications, including long and short screw detection.
• Special modules available for extended functions such as screw length detection and error-proofing.
• Mechanical and structural upgrades focus on reducing screw jamming and improving feeding stability.
• Cleaning modules help maintain screw cleanliness and reduce debris accumulation.
