Overview

This document details the specifications, features, and installation guidelines for a Disc Feeder system designed for micro screws used in electronics manufacturing. The system integrates vacuum modules and FlexPendant controls to ensure precise, clean, and efficient screw feeding.

Product System Composition

• Components: Vacuum Module, FlexPendant controller, Disc Feeder, Air Tube (customer provided), Solenoid valve, Pneumatic coupler (customer provided), and Client device interface (RS communication and IO lines).
• Models: FDH-SDC-70ML, FDH-SDC-120ML, FDH-SDC-140ML.

Key Product Advantages

• Non-Stuck Feeding: Patented technology ensures stable, non-stuck screw feeding, improving production efficiency.
• High Precision: Enhanced positioning accuracy with repeatability up to ±0.2 mm, increasing durability and screw removal accuracy.
• Material Shortage Detection: Standard sensors provide early warning to prevent production interruption.
• Clean Feeding: Designed to meet high cleanliness standards of the electronics industry, ensuring dust-free operation.
• Screw Length Detection (Optional): Prevents mixing of screws and improves product qualification rates.
• Low Failure Rate: Intelligent fault alarms facilitate easy maintenance and replacement.
• Wide Screw Compatibility: Supports screws with LDR (Length to Diameter Ratio) ≤ specified values, including special and step screws.
• Artificial Intelligence Error-Proofing: Vision-based AI algorithms detect abnormal screw posture and material shortage.

Technical Specifications

• Screw Size Range: Thread diameter M from approximately 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm; screw length L from 1.4 mm to 33 mm; cap diameter D and thickness T vary by model.
• Vacuum Module Dimensions and Parameters: Models vary in size (e.g., 70ml, 120ml, 140ml capacity), weight (~1.4 to 1.9 kg), rated air pressure (~0.4 MPa), power source DC24V, rated power (~10 W), air consumption (~0.03 m3/min), and inlet pipe diameter (~6 mm).
• Detection Accuracy: Screw length detection accuracy approximately ±0.2 mm.
• Installation: Mounting base includes two M4 threaded through holes; fixing screw length into the box must not exceed 10 mm.

Product Configuration and Model Coding

The product model code includes information on screw type, module type (Disc Feeder), capacity (70ml, 120ml, 140ml), number of channels (single channel), and optional features such as material shortage detection and screw length detection.

Installation and Connection

• Includes diagrams for vacuum module installation and screw removal positions.
• Connection options include straight cable (default) and elbow connector with reference schematics.
• Recommended to configure parameters via FlexPendant for optimal performance.

Recommendations and Notes

• Customers should provide air tubes and pneumatic couplers.
• For screws outside the specified size range, sample screws should be provided for testing and technical support consultation.
• Laboratory-measured data is provided as reference; actual performance may vary.

Summary
