A flexible feeder, also known as a flexible vibratory bowl feeder, flexible conveyor, oscillating belt feeder, or circular vibratory feeder, is a highly adaptable feeding solution designed to handle various components with differing sizes, shapes, and pin configurations. The flexible feeders offered by Ju Sheng Automation are innovative devices that can precisely position parts, making them essential for industries that require rapid product updates and frequent line changes.
Key Features of Flexible Feeders
- Versatile Bulk Material Feeding
Flexible feeders can efficiently sort and deliver bulk materials using a conveyor belt system. - Compact Size and Quick Changeover
These feeders are designed to be compact, allowing for quick changes and adjustments without extensive downtime. They operate quietly, contributing to a more conducive working environment. - High Compatibility
Flexible feeders can handle a diverse range of components, making them suitable for multi-pin devices and various applications. - Efficient Material Sorting Mechanism
The working principle involves a sorting track where materials are selected. Non-conforming (NG) materials are recycled via the conveyor belt system, while selected components are delivered to the pickup position through linear vibration. - Compatibility with Various Pick-and-Place Machines
Flexible feeders can be integrated with any brand of pick-and-place machines, enabling loose material feeding without the need for packaging. This not only saves on packaging costs but also enhances efficiency.
Conclusion
In summary, flexible feeders offer an effective solution for traditional feeding challenges, including scratches on delicate parts, difficulty in sorting irregular shapes, color discrimination, challenges in small-batch line changes, and the capability to handle multi-pin components. By utilizing flexible feeders, manufacturers can streamline their production processes and improve overall efficiency.
At YEETAI, we produce all kinds of feeder to upgrade SMT machines.
