In addition to the intensity of the total system, the maximum strength and ratio of the
horizontal and vertical actuators can be adjusted via these two sliders. If, for example,
the aflex is controlled with an intensity of 100%, the horizontal actuators can be con-
trolled by the max. specification of e.g. 89% with an intensity of 89%. Thus the intensity
ratio between horizontal and vertical actuators can be defined. If a targeted directional
control is not required, the horizontal actuators are deactivated by a max. power setting
of 0%.
Frequency (9)
This slider determines the vibration frequency of the aflex. In addition, the frequency
can be finely adjusted using the buttons "+1/-1" and "+ 0.1/-0.1". The vibration fre-
quency has a decisive influence on the behaviour of the components on the aflex. To
separate the components, the resonance frequency of the vibrating plate is selected.
For the conveying of components, this not suitable. This feed frequency must be de-
termined empirically by the component.
4.5.1.1 Aflex phase control
The phases described above are linked in this section in order to describe the control
of the aflex in more detail. The following diagram shows the temporal sequence of the
aflex control.
