Description of the LF linear feeder
2.1
General
The LF, together with a transport rail, is designed for feeding bulk materials.
The LF must only be used in combination with the corresponding Afag controller. This
combination guarantees optimum transport behaviour.
The LF must be fixed onto a sufficiently solid support, in order to avoid the conduction of
vibrations to other parts
2.2
Functional description
The LF is a unit which transforms electromagnetic oscillations in order to use them to
feed component.
The basic construction of the LF contains the following elements:
1
Material to be conveyed
2
Feeder rail
3
Leaf springs
4
Jumping-off direction
α
Jumping-off angle
β
Inclination of leaf spring
