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. -
Page 5: Basic Safety Information
1.2 Basic safety information Familiarity with these basic safety rules and regulations constitutes the fundamental pre- requisite for safe handling and trouble-free operation of Afag KLF linear feeders. These operating instructions contain the most significant regulations for safe KLF opera- tion. -
Page 6: Specific Danger Points
1.2.2 Specific danger points NOTE Afag KLF 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 KLF or other material as- sets. -
Page 7: Notes For Pacemakers And Defibrillators
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. -
Page 8: Description Of The Device
2 Description of the device 2.1 General Afag KLF linear feeders are used to transport work pieces away from upstream or to- wards downstream machines. Once various different criteria have been taken into ac- count, Afag linear feeders may also be used to sort components. The linear feeders may be integrated into individual feeder stations and complex automated assembly systems. -

Page 12: Mounting Of The Linear Track
3.3 Mounting of the linear track 3.3.1 Attaching one linear track The linear track is attached to either vibrating section with the help of an angle bracket or a lateral plate . In the case of the KLF5, the linear track is attached (see Figure 4 and Figure 5) directly to the vibrating section . -
Page 13: Attaching Two Linear Tracks
For a detailed description refer chapter 4.2 Balancing the masses. NOTE KLF 5 and KLF 25 require useful and counter masses to be identi- cal at all times. KLF 7 and KLF 15 require a specific difference to be adhered to between useful and counter masses. -

Page 15: Power Supply
3.4 Power supply WARNING ▪ Any work performed 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 linear feeder may only be operated with the power sup- ply specified on the name plate. -
Page 16: Balancing The Masses
For the linear feeders KLF 5 and KLF 25, this means that useful and counter masses must be identical. KLF 7 and KLF 15 require a specific mass difference to be adhered to between armature and magnet side. -
Page 17: Adjusting The Natural Frequency
4.3 Adjusting the natural frequency The Afag linear feeder is a spring- mass vibration system that operates utilising the reso- nance behaviour. Any changes in the mass require adjustment of the spring stiffness. For this purpose, sliding adjustment plates are provided on the spring assembly attach- ment at the base plate . - Page 18 The adjustment procedure is as follows: Place one test component on the linear track and switch on the controller. Use the rotary button to reduce the transport speed of the linear feeder until the component on the line- ar track moves only slowly. Keeping the controller setting constant, slowly loosen the screws of the adjustment plates at one linear feeder spring assembly .

Page 19: Setting The Air Gap
4.4 Setting the air gap During serial assembly, the air gap of the magnet system is set to the values specified in Table 5. If it deviates from the values specified in Table 5, after adjusting natural fre- quency, for example, the air gap must be readjusted. For this purpose loosen the lateral armature fixing screws and reset the air gap with the help of a spacer (see Figure 10) Figure 10: Armature attachment... -
Page 20: Maintenance Instructions
5 Maintenance instructions A type KLF linear feeder is basically maintenance-free. The leaf springs, however, may oxidise in certain conditions of use, thus affecting the vibration behaviour in the long run. In such cases the leaf springs may need to be removed and cleaned or to be replaced. Make sure to always dismantle one spring assembly only as the vibrating sections are otherwise displaced and trouble-free functioning is no longer guaranteed. - Page 21 The magnet is damaged, the field winding Electrical check of the magnet, replace damaged has burnt out magnet. Check settings: 50 Hz position, full wave (exciting frequency = 100 Hz) The air gap between magnet and rotor is Set the air gap according to the operating manual too small (striking) or too large Change of the system's natural frequency Undo screws of the spring assemblies, check springs,...
