Elscint Automation

Elscint can offer bulk elevators for providing higher capacities. Usually, the number of components which can be loaded in a vibratory bowl feeder is constrained by the weight and the volume of the components. In order to increase the loading capacity, usually auxiliary bulk elevators are provided. The disadvantage of auxiliary bulk elevators is the extra space which they occupy and plus the extra cost and electrical consumption and wiring required for the same. The advantage is the ground level loading which is possible with bulk elevators. The loading height in case of bulk hoppers increases but in case of bulk elevators, reduces substantially. Bulk elevators are most suitable in case the vibratory bowl feeder is kept at a higher height.

Once the component comes out of the bowl feeder, it needs to be taken to the next station, for this either a gravity chute or a linear track has to be used.

Elscint offers three types of noise enclosures for vibratory bowl feeders, namely, square or rectangular mild steel cover lined with acoustic foam on the inside, round shaped mild steel cover with acoustic foam lined on the inside and thirdly, acrylic enclosure fixed with aluminium extruded sections. Depending upon the budget, type of component, model of the bowl feeder and the noise reduction requirement of the customer, application engineers from elscint can recommend the correct type of noise enclosure for your vibratory bowl feeder. In case a new vibratory bowl feeder is ordered on elscint, noise enclosures are optionally provided to the customers. However, elscint can also provide noise enclosures for old vibratory bowl feeders of any make. A noise reduction of between 10 db to 20 db can be achieved with the help of elscint noise enclosures. In case of special applications like pharmaceutical requirements, even stainless steel noise enclosures can also be provided with special washable acoustic foam. The elscint mild steel or stainless steel noise enclosures come with toggle clamps for easy removal and fastening. Additionally, the top cover is made of transparent acrylic with a particular thickness and hinges which not only reduces the noise but helps the operator to check whether the number of pieces in the bowl have reduced or require replenishment. Elscint can also provide a level controller with the noise enclosure and give a ring / flash a bulb in case the levels of components in the bowl reduce. This feature is very popular with most customers as it relieves the operator from continuously checking the level of components in the bowl. Elscint maintains a stock of various sizes of noise enclosures and thus faster deliveries are possible.

This can be either a 400 x 400 mm  or 500 x 500 mm square stand with height adjustment and space for storage below.

In case you require the chute to be horizontal for feeding to the next operation, then a linear chute is required. A linear chute is mounted on a linear vibrator and can be anywhere from 300 mm to 1500 mm in length or even more.

Elscint offers Silo type Hoppers for providing higher capacities. Usually, the number of components which can be loaded in a Vibratory Bowl Feeder is constrained by the Weight and the Volume of the components. In order to increase the loading capacity, usually Auxiliary Hoppers are provided. The disadvantage of Auxiliary Hoppers is the extra space which they occupy and plus the extra cost and electrical consumption and wiring required for the same. As against this, Silos offer the advantage of increased loading capacity and they do not require any Electrical Supply. The increase in height is also nominal. The overall Table size also does not increase to that extent. Though the Silo has a lot of advantages, the only disadvantage is that it can only be used for certain components like Needles, Rollers etc. However, it cannot be used for components like screws, hooks etc.

This is a single tubular Stand with provision for height adjustment. Its advantage is its compactness.

Elscint Vibrator drive units are correctly engineered to give stable performance at high speed with minimum maintenance.

Elscint manufactures 8 models of vibrator drives -

Model 100

A very small model having a base diameter of 100 mm. (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 160D

An universal model having base diameter of 200 mm, which can be changed between clockwise and anti- clockwise direction (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 160 D

An universal model having base diameter of 200 mm, which can be changed between clockwise and anti- clockwise direction (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 250

A dedicated model having base diameter of 200 mm. (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 250 D

An universal model having base diameter of 290 mm, which can be changed between clockwise and anti-clockwise direction (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 400

A dedicated model having base diameter of 290 mm which is highly stable. (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 400 HD

A dedicated model having base diameter of 450 mm which is highly stable. (refer catalogue for dimensional details) – Full Wave

Model 630

A highly stable drive with base diameter of 650 mm for heavy and big bowls. (refer catalogue for dimensional details)

Maintenance

Elscint uses totally encapsulated type coils with adequate power for respective models. A removable guard / cover is provided for safety for all vibrator drives. All drive units are for FULL WAVE Operation (100 Cycles) and hence the energy consumption of Elscint vibratory drive units is 40% less than its competitors who offer HALF WAVE Operation. For heavy components and bigger bowls, Elscint can provide HALF WAVE Vibrators (Model 400 HD and Model 630).

Elscint offers X-Y Tables for Vibratory Bowl Feeders. These are available in two Models –Model 250.Model 400 ,X-Y tables make fine adjustments on X axis and Y axis possible. This along with the Z adjustment which is available on Elscint stands give a tremendous benefit to machine builders / system integrators who can thereby reduce the time taken for integration. This accessory also finds usage when various sizes of components are being fed to a centreless grinding machine. This helps in fine adjustment to accommodate the various sizes of components plus helps while dressing the grinding machine wheel.
