ELECTRIC MOTOR INFORMATION SAFETY: The use of electric motors and generators, like that of all other utilization of concentrated power, is potentially hazardous. The degree of hazard can be gratly reduced by proper design, selection, installation and use, but hazards cannot be completely eliminated. The reduction of hazard is the joint responsibility of the user, the manufacturer of the driven or driving equipment and the manufacturer of the motor or generator.
Before Starting 1. 2. 3. Before attempting to start, check all connections and fuses. Proper consideration should be given to rotating members: Before starting, be sure keys, pulleys, etc. are securely fastened. Proper guards should be provided to prevent hazards to personnel while rotating. Other mechanical considerations include proper mounting and alignment of products and safe loads on shafting and gearing. Staring 1. 2.
Service Instructions Syntron Light-Capacity Electromagnetic Vibrating Feeders Models: F-T01-A and DF-T01-A Contents Page Introduction..............................................24 Theory of Operation.................................25 Long Term Storage..................................26 Installation ...............................................26 Operation.................................................27 Maintenance ............................................27 Trouble Shooting ................
THEORY OF OPERATION Model F/DF-T01-A Feeder operation produces a vibrating stroke on the surface of the feeder trough. The stroke is obtained by the electromagnet pulling the trough sharply down and back and then allowing it to spring up and forward. Repeated at high speeds (3600 v.p.m. at 60 cycle power supply), this action produces a definite vibrating movement on the trough surface.
LONG TERM STORAGE When received, the equipment should be carefully unpacked. Give the equipment a thorough visual inspection to reveal any damage that may occurred during shipment. If damage is found, contact L-R Systems, Material Handling Solutions and the shipping carrier at once. If the feeder is placed in storage, prior to installation, store the feeder in the shipping carton. CAUTION: Do not support the weight of the unit by the trough assembly. This will distort and damage the springs.
OPERATION CAUTION: Unauthorized modification of the feeder or use of unauthorized replacement parts may damage the feeder. L-R Systems will not assume responsibility for feeder performance as a result of any unauthorized alterations to the equipment. Consult L-R Systems, Material Handling Solutions before modifying your feeder. With the feeder and controller properly installed and all wiring completed, the equipment is ready for operation.
CAUTION: Any signs of excessive heat or burned components are an indication of trouble. At first notice of an overheating condition, immediately investigate and correct the cause. Feeder coils, under normal operating conditions, run warm but never too hot to touch.
SPRING REPLACEMENT Replacement springs must be of the same size and thickness as those removed. L-R Systems recommends replacing all springs rather than just one. Before replacing springs, disconnect the feeder from the power supply. Work on one spring assembly at a time (first the rear spring stack). Make a note of the location and arrangement of each spring, spacer and clamp. Remove the bolts which secure the leaf springs to the base, then the bolts which hold the springs to the trough mounting bracket.
CHECKING FEEDER CURRENT When using an analog clamp on meter to read the current of the feeder, the meter reading must always be multiplied by a value of 1.7 due to the wave characteristics of the feeder when operating. When using a true RMS meter, the current is as indicated. All current readings must be taken at the control. STROKE GAUGE Feeder stroke is the distance the trough travels in one complete cycle of vibration.
