Declaration of Incorporation according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC Company Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH Reichsweg 19-23 52068 Aachen Germany herewith declare under our sole responsibility that with regard to the following product: Linear feeder Machine designation: (function) SL(…) Type designation: GL(…) 10865660 0001 2500000 0001 Serial number all relevant essential safety and health requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC have been fulfilled up to the battery limits.
1. Safety Information 1.1. Fundamental safety directives These operating instructions constitute the basis for safe use and operation of the SLS type linear feeder. This instruction manual, and in particular the safety information it contains, must be observed by all persons who work with or on the SLS feeder.
1.2. Intended use The intended use of the SLS is exclusively the feeding and discharging of parts. It can also be used for ori- enting of parts. For maximum permitted dimensions and weights of add-on components observe the notices in chapter 2.3, table 1 'Technical Data' and chapter 3 'Commissioning'. Use to the intended purpose in- cludes observance of all notices in these operating instructions.
The advantages of the SLS linear feeders are based on the adjustable balancing of useful and coun- ter masses which largely eliminates the free vibratory forces directly within the unit. 2.3.

Breite The recommended dimensions are listed in Table 2. The dimensions are given for one vibrating section and applicable to each of the two vibrating sections. Table 2: Feed rail dimensions SLS 250 SLS 400 SLS 600 SLS 800 Length...
Mount the feed rail on the left or the right vibrating section using a mounting angle bracket or side plate (see Fig. 4). With the SLS 250, the feed rail mounts directly onto the vibrating section (see chapter 2.3, Fig. 1). In any case, make sure to observe the correct mounting position as shown in chapter 2.3, Fig.

However, this balance of vibratory forces is ensured only if useful and counter masses are adjusted to each other as precisely as possible. For models SLS 250 and SLS 800 this means that useful and counter masses must be identical. For models SLS 400 and SLS 600 there must be a spe- cific mass difference between armature and magnet side.
4.4.2. Adjusting the natural frequency The linear feeder is a spring-mass vibration system that operates utilising the resonance behaviour. Any changes in the mass require adjustment of the spring stiffness. For this purpose, sliding adjustment plates are provided on the spring assembly attachment at the base plate (see Fig. 8). You can adjust the natural frequency by moving these adjustment plates.
To achieve the required accuracy, tighten the screws step by step and in turns. Table 5: Setpoints for air gap between armature and magnet core Type Power supply Air gap value Tolerance SLS 250 230 V / 50 Hz ± 0.05 110 V / 60 Hz ± 0.05 SLS 400 230 V / 50 Hz ±...
measures such as the use of gloves. Attention If any guards have been removed, be sure to fit them back in place! 6. Spare parts list As the SLS design comprises no wear parts, failure of individual feeder components is not likely to occur during use to the intended purpose.
