We appreciate your considering Minimus Vibratory Feeders for your miniature parts handling application. Since or feeders represent a radical departure from the devices you may be familiar with, may I take a minute of your time to explain:

 

Minimus Vibratory Feeders and Handlers are primarily designed to handle very small micro-parts such as semiconductor dice [as small as .25mm (.010”) square], chip capacitors and resistors, ferrite cores or other parts comparable in size.

 

Our 1500 Series Feeder Bowls are produced by precision single point machining from aluminum bar stock and utilize no casting, welding, milling or sandblasting in the manufacture of the basic track. The track or ramp along which the parts travel, can be varied in width from less than .25mm (.010”) to about 3mm(.118”), which, therefore, limits the width of the parts that can be fed to approximately the same dimension.

 

Maximum outside diameter of these bowls is 96.5mm (3.800”), inside depth up to about 13mm (.500”), depending on track design.

 

In the conventional feeder bowls, the parts travel along a helical or helical-spiral track. In the Minimus Series 1500 feeder bowls, the parts travel over a track made up of three concentric and inclined tracks. Each track can be individually varied as to incline angle and width. Various combinations can be designed to produce the desired feeding and orienting characteristics. In addition, many sorting or orienting features may be machined into the bowl, saving the cost of an external escapement or an additional linear feeder.
