Product being too thin and insufficient manufacturing precision of the vibratory bowl feeder
When the product is too thin and the manufacturing precision of the vibratory bowl feeder fails to meet the standard, material accumulation and poor clamping, which lead to jamming, are highly likely to occur. This is because the track with insufficient precision is unable to accurately guide the orderly movement of thin products, causing them to squeeze and get stuck against each other.
Solution: High-precision processing technologies such as wire cutting and computer numerical control (CNC) are adopted to remanufacture the body and track of the vibratory bowl feeder. Through precise processing, it is ensured that the size error of the track is extremely small and the surface is smooth and flat, allowing thin products to move stably and smoothly on the track, and fundamentally solving the jamming problem caused by precision issues.
Jamming or overturning of materials caused by incorrect delivery
If jamming or overturning of materials occurs in the vibratory bowl feeder, and it is found that the cause is incorrect delivery such as mismatch of models and wrong accessories, it means that the equipment does not match the actual usage requirements and is unable to complete the feeding work properly.
Solution: Immediately contact the supplier or manufacturer and return the vibratory bowl feeder to the factory for processing. Professional personnel will check the order and product model, and rematch a suitable vibratory bowl feeder or replace the wrong accessories to ensure that the equipment specifications are fully in line with the characteristics of the materials and production requirements, avoiding jamming faults caused by mismatch.
Uneven material channel or unreasonable bending design
The burrs, unevenness on the surface of the material channel, or the arc of the bending being too small will directly impede the progress of the materials. The burrs will increase the friction, and the uneven parts are likely to cause the materials to get stuck; the too-small bending arc will make the materials accumulate due to excessive impact when turning.
Solution: Relying on rich debugging experience of the vibratory bowl feeder, conduct targeted treatment on the material channel. Use grinding tools to remove the burrs and level the sunken parts; redesign the bending structure and appropriately increase the radius of the arc to ensure that the materials can transition naturally when turning, reducing collisions and jams. In addition, regularly check the status of the material channel and carry out timely maintenance and repair to keep it smooth.
Abnormal vibration amplitude of the vibratory bowl feeder
If the vibration amplitude is too large, the materials will jump violently and collide with each other on the track, leading to jamming; if the amplitude is too small, the materials will lack sufficient power to overcome the friction and move forward. Even if the materials are of good quality, an ordinary controller is difficult to precisely adjust the vibration parameters.
Solution: Install an FM controller, which can achieve fine adjustment of the vibration frequency and amplitude. By automatically or manually setting parameters, the vibration intensity is dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of the materials (such as weight, shape, and material), ensuring that the materials move at a stable and appropriate rhythm on the track, neither being disordered due to excessive vibration nor stagnating due to weak vibration.
