1 Safety instructions 1.1 Explanation of symbols and notes Symbols: Assembly and commissioning must be carried out by qualified person- nel only and according to these operating instructions. Please observe the meaning of the following symbols and notes. They are grouped into risk levels and classified according to ISO 3864-2.
1.2 Basic safety information Familiarity with these basic safety rules and regulations constitutes the fundamental prerequisite for safe handling and trouble-free operation of Afag HLF-P linear feed- ers. These operating instructions contain the most significant regulations for safe HLF-P operation. These operating instructions - and in particular the safety regulations - must be observed by anyone working on and with the HLF-P.
1.2.2 Specific danger points NOTE Afag HLF-P linear feeders are state-of-the-art equipment designed in compliance with the EU Machinery Directive and accepted safety regulations. Nevertheless, however, risks may arise from using this equipment that may endanger life and limb of user or third parties and cause interference with the HLF-P or other material assets.
1.4 Notes for Pacemakers and Defibrillators Afag vibration conveyors are tested in accordance with regulation 15 of the German Statuto- ry Accident Insurance Association [Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV] (previ- ously BGV B11 of German Accident Prevention Regulations). The permissible values of ex- posure area 2 are not exceeded, therefore no measures are required pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the DGUV regulation 15.
2 Description of the device 2.1 General Afag Type HLF -P Linear Feeders are used to remove parts from upstream machines and/or feed parts to downstream machines. Afag Linear Feeders are also used for sorting parts, with due consideration of various criteria. Linear feeders are fitted in in- dividual feeding units as well as in complex assembly systems.

The main criterion is the working weight (track length) and the space available for installation. The Afag Piezo linear conveyors are designed for connection to 230 V, ±10%, 50 / 60Hz. The Afag Piezo controllers PSG-1 are available for controlling the linear con- veyors (see chapter 6.2 Control device).
(see chapter 4.2 Balance of weights). Height adjustments can be achieved by means of appropriate substructures. Stand- ard Afag components are available for setting up complete units. Figure 2: Attachment slots in the base plate Slots for attaching the HLF-P R03.0...

Width [mm] 4.2 Balance of weights The oscillating forces in the base plate of the Afag Linear Feeder are compensated almost completely due to the principle of opposing oscillations (push-pull). This bal- ance of oscillating forces is however only achieved if: 1.
4.3 Piezo control The Afag Piezo linear conveyor is a spring and mass vibration system and works by taking advantage of the resonance behaviour. Please proceed as follows in order to achieve a stable operating point with the desired conveying capacity when adjusting the control parameters (voltage and operating frequency): 1.
gards stability, care of the Piezo and mutual influence (with several devices) for the required conveying capacity must be determined depending on the application. CAUTION The operating frequency must be higher than the natural frequency of the Piezo linear conveyor. If the operating frequency is the same as the natural frequency, i.e.

5 Maintenance Instructions An HLF-P type linear conveyor requires minimal maintenance. Depending on the manner in which it is used, signs of wear may occur, which can be compensated for by resetting the adjustment plates. Spring wear/ oxidation (increased resonance frequency) Depending on the operating mode and environment, a layer of oxidation may develop on the springs at the contact surfaces which over time may adversely affect the vibra- tion behavior.
