3.5.4  Minimal Distance Between Part Feeding 

When two or more feeders are installed close to each other, the movement of the active 
device can excite the passive one. It is therefore recommended to install the feeders at 
enough distance to prevent them from disturbing each other. 

 

 

The minimal distance between Part Feeding, refer to 

3.5.5.4. Minimal Distance Between 

Part Feeding.
