Factors Influencing Conveying Velocity of Prismatic Parts on a Vibratory Feeder
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vibratory feeders are commonly used in industries for part feeding. There are several factors that affect the conveying velocity of parts on the vibratory feeder. Among these, the critical factors such as excitation frequency, amplitude of vibration, mass of part, co-efficient of friction and Length-towidth (L/W) ratio of the part were considered for experimental studies. The percentage of influence of each factor on conveying velocity was determined through ANOVA. Regression and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were developed to predict the velocity of prismatic parts on vibratory feeder. Comparison of results with experimental results revealed that ANN was able to predict closer than the regression model.

The design of industrial parts feeders is a long, trial-anderror process that can take months – even for the design of feeders that orient only one type of part. This paper describes the use of dynamic simulation to expedite the design and prototyping of parts feeders. We give probabilistic descriptions of vibratory parts feeding behavior, and we present a comparison between simulated design ex...
