2. Safety directives We have taken great care in design and manufacture of our linear feeder in order to ensure smooth and safe opera- tion. You, too, can make an important contribution towards safety at work. We therefore ask you to read the brief op- erating instructions completely prior to commissioning the system.
Attention The linear feeder must be installed, put into operation and maintained by professional personnel only. Ob- serve the legally binding provisions for the qualifications of qualified electrical workers and instructed workers as defined by standards IEC 364 and DIN VDE 0105, part 1. Caution: Electromagnetic field Magnetic fields may affect a cardiac pacemaker.
5. Commissioning Attention Make sure that the machine frame (rack, substructure, etc.) is connected to the protective earth conductor (PE). Protective earthing has to be provided by user as necessary. Attention It is imperative that the vibrating motor be connected to the equipotential bonding system of the overall equipment be- fore commissioning.
When changing springs, take into account that leaves of different thicknesses have different spring forces. As the spring force increases to the square of spring thickness, please note the following examples: * 2.5 mm spring thickness = 6.25 spring force * 3.0 mm spring thickness = 9.0 spring force * 3.5 mm spring thickness = 12.25 spring force One 3.5-mm thick leaf spring produces approximately the same spring force as two 2.5 mm thick leaf springs.
Notice The feeder speeds that can be obtained by tuning the system in the 'super-critical' region are lower than the speeds possible in the sub-critical region. In addition, the speed differences between loaded and un- loaded feeder are bigger in this case. 'Sub-critical' tuning should be favoured in most cases. Notice As a first step, make a rough adjustment of the feeder speed (by tuning the natural frequency).
5.1.3. Changing the spring set on linear feeders Changing the spring set on SLL 175 type linear feeders Remove the 4 upper lateral spring fastening screws ‘C’ (M4 DIN 912). Now you can lift out the complete vibratory unit, with feed rail attached. Remove the desired spring pack by loosening the lower lateral spring fastening screws ‘D’ (M4 DIN 912).

Remember to remove the locating pins before re-starting the unit! Changing the spring set on SLL 800 and SLL 804 type linear feeders Remove the bottom armature fastening screw 'A' (M6 DIN 912). Remove the 4 respectively 6 upper lateral spring fas- tening screws ‘C’...

Changing the spring set on SLF 1000 type linear feeders Remove the 4 upper lateral spring fastening screws ‘C’ (M12 DIN 912). Now you can lift out the complete vibratory unit, with feed rail attached. Remove the desired spring pack by loosening the lower lateral spring fastening screws ‘D’ (M12 DIN 912).
5.1.4. Adjusting the desired feeding behaviour / synchronism of the linear feed rail For a linear feed rail to operate smoothly and in synchronism, the spring angle must be set to be identical to the cen- tre-of-gravity angle. The centre-of-gravity angle is determined by the locations of the centres of gravity of the vibrating mass and of the counter mass.

SLL 400 (when inserting the wire make sure that it doesn't enter the grooves of the armature); use wire with 3 mm, length 80 mm for SLL 800 and SLL 804; use wire with 2.5 mm, length 250 mm for SLF 1.000). Adjust the air gap (see Section 1, ‘Technical Data’) by pressing down the two armature fastening screws against the direction of...
6. Feed rail design rules As the use of aluminium profiles makes the vibratory unit strong enough, the feed rails should be of very lightweight design. Only the rail projections beyond the vibratory unit (max. 100 mm at the entry and max. 200 mm at the exit) must be designed to resist torsional stresses involved.
9. What if... (Advice on troubleshooting) Attention Only professional electricians are allowed to open the control unit or connector. Pull the mains plug before opening! If the rail feeding speed or height amplitude is not uniform but rather higher at the exit than at the entry, this indicates that the spring angle is incorrectly set relative to the centre-of-gravity angle (see Section 5.1.3).
