Inline Vibratory Feeders are also called Linear Vibrators. The track which is fixed on the linear vibrator is called inline vibratory track. These are used to convey components from a vibratory bowl feeder to the point of usage. It results in a creation of a buffer which can help in providing buffer stock to ensure that the cycle time of the machine being fed is matched to the feed rate / speed of the vibratory bowl feeder. A good inline vibrator track should usually be machined from tool steel and hardened or else it can be in stainless steel. Tracks made of stainless steel last longer and are required especially for pharmaceutical components. Usually, a sensor should be fixed on the linear track which can switch on / off the vibratory bowl feeder which feeds components to the inline vibratory track. This way, the required feed rate will be matched with that of the vibratory bowl feeder. The length of the inline vibratory track is dependent upon the power and size of the linear vibrator. It can be from just 100 mm long to upto 1500 mm long for electro-mechanical vibratory feeders. | |||
