1 Safety instructions 1.1 Notes on symbols and instructions Symbols: Assembly and commissioning must be carried out by qualified per- sonnel 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 This operating manual provides the basis for the safe use and operation of the vibrato- ry feeder. This operating manual and, in particular, the included safety instructions have to be observed by all individuals working with and on the vibratory hopper. In addition, all rules and regulations regarding the accident prevention applicable for the site of operation are to be complied with.
1.4 Notes for Pacemakers and Defibrillators Afag vibration conveyors are tested in accordance with regulation 15 of the German Statutory Accident Insurance Association [Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV] (previously BGV B11 of German Accident Prevention Regulations). The permissible values of exposure 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 In combination with a dosing channel, the vibratory hopper units are used to store bulk material. The material is moved by vibrations. Parts are moved by micro throws in the feeding direction. 2.2 Functional description The NVD is a unit which transforms magnetic oscillations in order to use the feeding of work pieces.
The magnet, connected to the base, creates a force which attracts reps. releases the armature (Anchor bolt) dependent on the oscillation frequency of the power supply. As the armature (Anchor bolt) is also connected to the vibrating plate, this also makes the same pulsating movement.
3 Assembly instructions 3.1 Transport WARNING Improper use of transport means (industrial trucks, cranes, tech- nical aids, sling gear etc.) may lead to bruises and other injuries. Required behaviour: ▪ Observe and follow the transport and maintenance instruc- tions ▪ Proper use of transport means CAUTION During transport, the NVD must only be held by the base.
3.3 Power supply WARNING ▪ Any work on the electrical supply may only be performed by trained, authorised, qualified personnel! ▪ The power supply must be protected by an FI switch (pro- vided by the customer). ▪ The bowl feeder may only be operated with the power sup- ply specified on the name plate.
4 Operating instructions 4.1 Standard operation No further settings are required for standard operation mode once the controller is switched on. The only thing required for an uninterrupted operation is the re-filling of the dosing channel. 4.2 Adjustments and settings of the NVD Basically the NVD and channel are adjusted in the standard configuration.
CAUTION The casing must be replaced after each procedure! 4.3 Setting the distance between the vibrating plate and the support base This setting is only necessary when: all spring packages have been exchanged or re-assembled the NVD has been dismantled WARNING Unplug the power cable, before proceeding with further actions! 1.
4.4 Torques Tightening torques M in Nm for shank screws with metric ISO control threads and head supports according to DIN 912 or DIN 931: Tightening torques M in Nm Screw Strength class 8.8 Strength class 10.9 Strength class 12.9 14,0 16,5 (M7)
▪ Before removing the casing, unplug the power cable! Interruptions caused by defective components must be repaired by replacing the de- fective component, only. NOTE Defective components must only be replaced by Afag original spare parts. R06.0 16/05/2019 Page 15...

5.2 Cleaning Coating: Detergent: Cleaning method: hard-anodised Inox Alcool or spirit Ultrasonic bath polished Metaline Soap wather clean with a damp cloth, let it dry Habasit light green neither vacuum cleaner Habasit white, dark green Alcool or spirit clean with a damp cloth Polyurethane red, yellow and let it dry.
5.3 Replacing springs or spring packages (See Figure 5) This procedure is only necessary when: the oscillating behaviour of the NVD has changed a spring is broken the NVD is to be retooled for a different product WARNING Before removing the casing, unplug the power cable! 1.
Figure 5 5.4 Replacing the magnetic coil (see Figure 6) This procedure is only necessary when: the magnetic coil is defective WARNING Before removing the casing, unplug the power cable! R06.0 16/05/2019 Page 19...

WARNING Electrical work must only be carried out by trained personnel! 1. remove the casing (1) 2. unplug the Euro plug (2) from the control unit and disassemble 3. loosen the cable clamp (3) and pull the cable through 4. remove the screws (4) and exchange the magnet (5) 5.
5.5 Setting the air gap between magnetic coil and Anchor bolt (see Figure 7) This procedure is only necessary when: The distance between the vibrating plate and the support surface has been re- set. springs or spring packages have been exchanged the magnetic coil has been replaced WARNING Before removing the casing, unplug the power cable!
