A comparison of real and simulated designs for vibratory parts feeding
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 experiments and physical experiments done using a real industrial vibratory bowl feeder. Our findings show strong similarities between the results of the two types of experiments. We believe that dynamic simulation is a promising approach for expediting the parts feeder analysis and design process.

Factors Influencing Conveying Velocity of Prismatic Parts on a Vibratory Feeder
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 infl...
متن کاملResonance-Induced Failure of Entrapment: Application to Industrial Parts Feeding
Parts feeders are devices used in automated assembly lines to present component parts to the assembly machinery in a consistent and predetermined orientation. The process of converting a randomly oriented set of parts (as obtained from a vendor) into an ordered array is called parts feeding. There are many different types of feeders and feeding techniques used in the industry. This paper deals ...
متن کاملDesign of a low power high speed 4-2 compressor using CNTFET 32nm technology for parallel multipliers
In this article a low power and low latency 4-2 compressor has been presented. By using modified truth table and Pass Transistor Logic (PTL) a novel structure has been proposed which outperforms previous designs from the frequency of operation view point. The proposed design method has reduced the total transistor count considerably which will lead to reduced power consumption and smaller activ...

متن کاملVibratory Manipulation
Vibratory manipulation is the use of repeated impacts, typically at high frequency and low amplitude, to manipulate objects. Although this sort of manipulation is commonly used, e.g. in parts feeding systems, there has been relatively little work on formally analyzing the mechanics. In this paper, we focus on manipulating a planar slider repeatedly tapped by a vibrating manipulator. We find tha...
