FEEDING SYSTEMS
A feeding system selects, orients and position the parts to facilitate and enable their subsequent handling and assembly. Vibratory systems or feeding systems receive the bulk parts, position them in the required position and supply them to the next step of the production process at the frequency and rate necessary for the proper functioning of the process.
OUR SUPPLY SYSTEMS
All our supply systems are tailor-made.
THE PARTS OF A SUPPLY SYSTEMTHE DECISION TO AUTOMATE
Dynamic feeding contemplates all the requirements derived from handling the parts from their bulk reception to their positioned delivery, one after another, to their automatic processing.
This process is the result of combining several specific techniques:
1) The driving force which is the basis of the equipment used, for providing the parts with an advancing direction.
2) The selection-positioning-rejection of the parts along their advancing path, with a view to ensuring a final flow of these, always delivered in the same position.
3) That inherent to transporting the parts, i.e. the configuration and handling of the sliding surfaces along which the parts must advance, based on their geometry, their asepsis requirements, etc., and their subsequent image features.
4) That of the interrelationship of complementary equipment to obtain autonomous systems for automatic feeding to machines or process lines, which basically consist of a Selection Unit, Autonomy Unit and a Transfer buffer Unit.
A feeding system is the interrelationship of two or more functional units that configure a homogeneous whole susceptible to accepting all physical and sequential resources available. Selecting, guiding and positioning the parts to enable their subsequent handling and assembly. The vibratory bowl feeder receives the parts in bulk from a tank or container (autonomy unit), places them in the required position and supplies them to a transfer buffer unit until reaching the handling unit of a machine.
Two types of power supply systems are defined:
The basic system consisting of a positing units (vibratory feeders) and a transfer buffer units (linear vibrator) mounted on a plate or support table. It is an ideal feeding system for implantation purposes (link function), and allows statistical variations in cadence to be averaged (buffer function).
The basic systems also allow the introduction of additional controls to avoid excessive pressure, reduce noise, equipment wear, inadequate treatment of parts, machine micro-stops, etc…
The complete system consists of three pieces of equipment: the autonomy unit, the positioning unit and the buffer link unit interrelated on a plate or support table. With the various combinations, it is the ideal formula to meet all kinds of requirements.
TAD feeding systems are at the forefront in terms of part selection, orientation and positioning, offering a high degree of quality and reliability for all sectors (pharmaceutical and healthcare, cosmetics, electronics, automotive, locksmith, toys, food and beverages) and vibrating industrial processes (machining, assembly of assemblies, insertion of inserts in plastic injection, welding, packaging, die-cutting, printing, riveting).
Automated Feeder System: Revolutionizing Industrial Feeding Solutions
In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation, the demand for precision and efficiency is paramount. One of the critical components ensuring seamless operations in manufacturing and assembly lines is the automated feeder system. These systems play a crucial role in automating the feeding of components into various production processes, ensuring a steady and reliable flow of parts. Among the industry leaders in this field TECNICAS DE ALIMENTACION DINAMICA, SL (TAD) is a company renowned for its innovative and customized automated feeding solutions.
What is an Automated Feeder System?
An automated feeder system is a highly engineered solution designed to automate the process of feeding parts or components into machinery or assembly lines. These systems are crucial in industries where precision and consistency are vital, such as automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. The primary function of these systems is to deliver parts to the next stage of the manufacturing process in a controlled and efficient manner, reducing human intervention and enhancing productivity.
Types of Automated Feeding Systems
There are several types of automated feeder systems, each designed to meet specific industrial needs:
- Vibratory Bowl Feeders: The most common type, used for sorting and orienting small parts. Vibratory bowl feeders use vibrations to move parts in a circular motion, sorting them into the correct orientation before feeding them into the production line.
- Centrifugal Feeders: These feeders are ideal for high-speed applications. They use centrifugal force to separate and orient parts before feeding them into the next stage of production.
- Linear Feeders: Often used in conjunction with vibratory bowl feeders, linear feeders transport oriented parts to the next process smoothly and efficiently.
- Step Feeders: These systems are designed for larger or more delicate parts that require gentle handling. Step feeders use a stair-like mechanism to move parts upwards to the next stage.
Benefits of Automated Feeder Systems
Implementing an automated feeder system offers numerous benefits:
- Increased Efficiency: Automated feeders significantly reduce the need for manual intervention, allowing for continuous operation and higher production rates.
- Consistency and Precision: These systems ensure that parts are fed in a consistent and precise manner, minimizing errors and defects in the production process.
- Cost Reduction: By automating the feeding process, companies can reduce labor costs and improve overall operational efficiency.
- Flexibility: Modern automated feeder systems can be easily adapted to handle different parts and components, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
