  • Vibratory conveyor
    Patent number: 6457577
    Abstract: In a vibratory conveyor which includes a trough for transporting objects, an exciting mechanism for vibrating the trough in a horizontal direction and a supporting mechanism for supporting the trough so as to be vibratile in the horizontal direction, the exciting mechanism is a linear motor, one of the primary and secondary sides of the linear motor is fixed to the trough and the other is facing to the one side with a predetermined gap and so arranged as to be vibratile relative to the one side.
    Type: Grant

  • Vibratory parts-feeder
    Patent number: 6206180
    Abstract: In a vibratory parts-feeder including; a feeder bowl in which a spiral track is formed, a vertical exciter with first electro-magnetic coil for exciting the feeder bowl in the vertical direction, a horizontal exciter with second electro-magnetic coil for exciting the feeder bowl in the horizontal direction, horizontal leaf springs for supporting the feeder bowl so as to be vibratile in the vertical direction, and vertical leaf springs for supporting the feeder bowl so as to be vibratile in the horizontal direction, wherein there is a phase difference between the currents flowing through the first and second electro-magnetic coils and the feeder bowl is elliptically vibrated, the improvements in which a phase adjusting circuit is connected to the first or second electro-magnetic coil, voltage adjusting circuits are connected to the first and second electro-magnetic coils and the ratio of the longer axis to the shorter axis of the elliptical vibration and the inclination of the longer axis thereof are varied wi
