What do I need to know to enquire about Vibrofeed's vibratory feeding system?

What Determines the Price of a Vibratory Feeding System?
 

• Part Size and Size of the Parts Supply (in most cases, the smaller the parts, the smaller the feeding system)
• Part Complexity
• Additional Options ( PU spray coating, lining mats, other surface treatments) 

What Basic Parameters Does the Manufacturer Need to Prepare a Quotation?

Basic general specification:

Feeding and orienting the part according to a 3D model or drawing. Sometimes a photo with dimensions included is sufficient for a quotation.

Specific parameters:

• Feeding system throughput ks/min.
• System input capacity: volume of parts in litres or number of parts per fill
• System autonomy min. (refilling frequency, e.g. 1 hod. to 8 hod.)
• Bowl feeder direction (clockwise or anticlockwise)

Clockwise and anticlockwise

• Part orientations at the outlet
• The bowl feeder outlet can also have multiple tracks (depending on the parts)
• Linear feeder length (multiple linear feeders can also be used in series to achieve the required length. Standard linear track lengths range from 250mm-650mm per linear feeder)

Multi-track bowl feeder outlet and linear feeder length

Do Parts Need to Be Replenished Manually or Using a Hopper to Increase Process Autonomy?

Here Are Some Options for Replenishing Parts in the Bowl Feeder:

• vibratory hopper 
• belt hopper 
• inclined belt conveyor 
• cleated belt conveyor

Do You Also Need Additional Products?
 

• Base Plate (recommended) The system is prepared and tuned for direct installation in your assembly or production line. Sometimes tuning the interaction between the bowl feeder and the linear feeder can be challenging even for manufacturers, which is why we recommend supplying the system on a base plate.
• Soundproof Enclosure 
• Table 
• Pick-up Nest – to simplify the integrator's work, we can design and manufacture a pick-up nest for a robot or manipulator.
