Design of the HLF-P Description of the HLF-P linear feeder The Afag linear feeders of the HLF-P type are used to transport parts from upstream machines and/or feed parts to downstream machines. Furthermore, the HLF-P feeder is also used for sorting parts, with due consideration of various criteria.
Installation, assembly and setting Installation, assembly and setting For safe operation, the module must be integrated into the safety concept of the system in which it is installed. During normal operation, it must be ensured that the user cannot interfere with the working area of the linear feeder.
( chap. 6.4.2). The height adjustment must be made by means of appropriate substructures. Suitable AFAG standard components are available for complete station set-ups. Fig. 4 Attachment slots(2) in the base plate 22 –...

Installation, assembly and setting Electrical connection WARNING Danger! Risk of electric shock! Improperly performed work can result in serious or fatal injuries. Work on the machine's electrical equipment may only be performed by skilled electrician or trained personnel under the supervision of a skilled electrician in accordance with all relevant electrical regulations.
Table with the recommended dimensions of the conveyor rails The dimensions are for one vibrating section and can be applied to each of the two vibrating sections. 26 – 44 Operating & Installation Instructions EN HLF07-P / HLF12-P Date 23.08.2023 Version 4.0 ...
Installation, assembly and setting 6.4.2 Adjust 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. To ensure this vibration force compensation, the following conditions must be observed in the design of the conveyor rail: 1.
Installation, assembly and setting 6.4.3 Natural frequency fine adjustment The Afag linear feeder works by making use of resonance. Weights that are not exactly balanced require a spring stiffness modification. For this purpose, sliding adjustment plates (1) are mounted on the base plate attachment of the spring assemblies.
Page 29
Installation, assembly and setting In the following cases, the natural frequency of the linear feeder is not set correctly and must be readjusted by moving the adjustment plates. When moving the setting plates, make sure that the setting plates are always horizontal and that the top edges are always exactly opposite each other.
The surfaces of the magnetic core and the magnetic armature must be exactly parallel to each other. 4. Tighten the fastening screws (2) alternately in stages. The process is completed. 30 – 44 Operating & Installation Instructions EN HLF07-P / HLF12-P Date 23.08.2023 Version 4.0 ...
Only operate the HLF with the Afag Piezo control unit PSG-1! Piezo control The Afag Piezo linear feeder is a spring-mass oscillation system and works by exploiting resonance behaviour. To achieve a stable operating point with the desired conveying capacity, the control parameters (voltage and operating frequency) must be matched to each other.
Operation 7.2.2 Multiple piezo linear feeders in one feeder If several piezo linear feeders are operated on the same base plate / on the same substructure, under certain circumstances the linear feeders may influence each other. This is noticeable, for example, in the form of a fluctuating conveying capacity or in the conveying behaviour of the parts in the rail.
