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.
Please feel free do download the
Application Questionnaire for your convenience; when completed, the information
supplied will aid us in arriving at an evaluation of your application. If
sample parts are available, they greatly assist in preparing a proposal.
Please feel free to call me with any
questions you may have.
Sincerely;
THE MINIMUS CO
