  • Page 11 2. Safety instructions 2. Safety instructions The conception and production of our linear feeders has been carried out very carefully, in order to guarantee trouble-free and safe operation. You too can make an important contribution to job safety. Therefore, please read these short operating instructions completely before starting the machine.
  • Page 12 2. Safety instructions Demands on the user - For all activities (operation, maintenance, repair, etc.) the details of the operating instructions must be observed. - The operator must avoid any working method which would impair the safety of the linear feeder. - The operator must take care that only authorized personnel works at the linear feeder.
  • Page 13 2. Safety instructions Build a safety system that shuts off the Hopper power when the machine or mechanical system protection enclosure is opened. WARNING Attach protective equipment* to the power supply line to the hopper controller. WARNING *: fuse, shutting down equipment for wires (MCCB), etc. When removing hopper from the machine or machine system, after unplugging the main power plug of the machine or machine system, and disconnect cable connection between hopper and...
  • Page 14 3. Construction and function of the linear feeder 3. Construction and function of the linear feeder Linear feeders are used for the actuation of conveying equipment. The actuation takes place by an electromagnet. The following schematic diagram shows the function of a linear feeder: The linear feeder is a device of the family of vibratory bowl feeders.
  • Page 15 4. Transport and mounting 4. Transport and mounting Transport Take care that the linear feeder cannot dash against other things NOTE  during transport. The weight of the linear feeder is taken from the table described in 1. Technical data. Mounting The linear feeder should be mounted on a stable substructure (available as an accessory part) at the place where it is used.
  • Page 16 5. Starting 5. Starting Ensure that the frame (stand, base, frame etc.) is connected NOTE  with the ground wire (PE). If necessary, prediction earthing on spot should be provided. Check, whether the linear feeder stands in an isolated position and does not come in securely with a solid body the linear track is screwed down and adjusted the connecting cable of the linear feeder is plugged in at the control unit.
  • Page 17 5. Starting 5.1.1 Adjusting the required running speed In case the required running speed is not achieved with the standard spring assembly, the current adjustment range of the oscillating system must at first be found out, either natural frequency below 50 or 100 Hz or natural frequency above 50 or 100 Hz. For that one or two plates are dismounted from the movable counterweight for a trial.
  • Page 18 5. Starting When changing the masses of counter and oscillating weights (installation or dismounting of counter or additional weights) NOTE  the running speed or the natural frequency of the linear feeder is changed. If necessary leaf springs must be added or removed.
  • Page 19 5. Starting 5.1.2 Adjusting the required running behavior or the synchronism of the linear feeder track In order to achieve synchronism of the linear feeder track, the spring angle must be adjusted the same as the gravity center angle. The gravity center angle is determined by the position of the two gravity centers of oscillating and counterweight.
  • Page 20 5. Starting Spring angle is smaller than the gravity center angle The force direction of the springs is initiated behind the gravity center of the vibrator. Consequence: The height amplitude is smaller in the feeding area than in the discharge area. In case the angles are not the same, the conveying tracks are running unsteadily.
  • Page 21 5. Starting The aim of the adjustment is: If the required conveying speed is achieved at a controller position of 80 %, the conveying speed must always increase when a weight plate is removed. Note that the number of spring assemblies varies from spring NOTE ...
  • Page 22 6. Maintenance 6. Maintenance The linear feeders are generally maintenance-free. They should, however, be thoroughly cleaned in case they are considerably dirty or after fluids have been spilled over them. For that first unplug the mains plug. Clean the inside of the linear feeder, especially the magnetic gap. Magnetic Gap After the mains plug has been plugged in, the linear feeder is ready for operation again.

(Instructions for trouble-shooting) The control unit or the connecting terminal box may only be opened by an electrician. Before opening the a.m. devices, the mains plug must be unplugged. WARNING In case the conveying track has no steady running speed or height amplitude, but at the discharge side a higher running speed or height amplitude than on the feeding side, the...

(Instructions for trouble-shooting) Owing to that the motion of projection cannot take place and in case of oily workpieces the adhesive power is higher than the projectile power, i. e. the workpiece cannot be lifted. In this case proceed as follows: Change the center of gravity angle (make it “steeper”), by displacing the counterweight “F”...

    3. Information for starting 3.2 Explanations on the term OPERATING MODE Oscillating drives are mechanical spring vibrators, which, according to weight and/or size, are adjusted to an oscillating frequency near the mains frequency. Two operating modes are possible: 1. Asymmetrical half-wave operation the oscillating drive operates with mains frequency. 2.
