Stable Speed Vibratory Bowl Feeder Silicone Part Electromagnetic Feeder Vibrator

1 . Descriptions:

Vibratory bowl feeders are important in manufacturing applications due to their ability to align and ensure proper feeding of parts into a production line. These feeders utilize electromagnets to create vibrations, which are then converted into mechanical vibrations to aid in the parts feeding process.

The feeder consists of a bowl mounted on a base supported by 3 or 4 leaf springs, allowing movement only in a vertical direction. Below the bowl feeder, a magnetic coil is fixed, which can be magnetized using an external power source to generate electromagnetic vibrations.

Typically, there are 1 to 6 electromagnets under the feeder base. Once the magnetic vibrations are converted into mechanical vibrations, the bowl transfers them onto the bowl conveying tracks. These vibrations effectively move the components in the bowl and feed them into the production line. On average, the electromagnet is capable of producing 100 cycles of vibration frequencies. The vibrations enable the parts in the bowl to slide or hop along the tracks.

The operation of vibratory bowl feeders offers several advantages for customers and their production lines. Firstly, it ensures smooth and consistent movement of the components. Additionally, the 100 frequency cycle allows the bowl feeder to reduce energy consumption by 40%.

The tooling in the bowl plays a crucial role in turning the components to the required orientation and pushing any misaligned parts to the center of the bowl. The vibrations then push the part out, guiding it back up the track.

Having a clear understanding of the basic function of the vibratory bowl feeder is essential in recognizing its significance in manufacturing applications.

3 . How Vibratory Feeder Bowls Work:

Vibratory feeder bowls are a reliable and efficient tool used by manufacturers to sort and orient parts from bulk quantities. They consist of several key components that work together seamlessly to achieve this purpose.

Bulk Parts Hopper: The parts hopper is designed to hold a large quantity of parts, minimizing the need for operator intervention. It automatically monitors the part levels in the feeder bowl and adds more parts as needed. This is particularly useful when feeding complex parts that require careful handling.

Vibratory Bowl Feeder: The heart of the system, the vibratory bowl feeder is custom-designed to sort and orient a specific part. It features a round stainless-steel bowl with cylindrical tracks. Through a series of gentle vibrations, the bowl shakes and moves the parts, while the tracks guide them into the correct position for proper orientation.

Drive Unit: The drive unit is responsible for generating the vibrations that shake and move the parts within the bowl. It utilizes electromagnetic energy and typically operates in the range of 60 to 120 Hz, ensuring effective movement and sorting of the parts.

Linear Feeder: Once the parts exit the feeder bowl, a linear feeder is commonly used to present them to an operator or another automated system. This feeder works similarly to the bowl feeder but is primarily focused on moving the already oriented parts along the system. It also creates an accumulating buffer of parts, preventing any delays in the feeding process.

The vibratory bowl feeder system is designed to be user-friendly and low-maintenance. It includes all the necessary components, such as PLC controls, for seamless integration into a manufacturing environment.
