Customer A: We use the ZS feeder of the Yamaha YS series with magnets under the chute.
When the material quantity of the feeder is about 300 to 400, it begins to throw the material and jumps when it turns over or when it is fed. We changed the feeding speed, but the problem still hasn’t been solved.
FeederSmt: We considered that the material is caused by static electricity. Today we are going to discuss how to solve this problem.
Static electricity is a common problem in the industrial sector, and it can cause a range of issues, from material handling problems to safety hazards. One of the most common issues related to static electricity is material components being thrown from electric feeders, such as the Yamaha ZS electric feeder. The Yamaha ZS electric feeder is a popular feeder used in the electronics manufacturing industry. In this article, we will discuss the causes of material components being thrown from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder and provide some solutions to eliminate static electricity and prevent throwing.
Causes of Material Components Being Thrown from Yamaha ZS Electric Feeder:
Static Electricity:
The most common cause of material components being thrown from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder is static electricity. Static electricity can build up on the surface of the material components due to friction, and this can cause the components to stick to the feeder or to each other. When the feeder tries to release the components, the static charge can cause them to be thrown out of the feeder.
Inconsistent Feeder Settings:
Another cause of material components being thrown from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder is inconsistent feeder settings. If the feeder settings are not set correctly, the components may be released too quickly or too slowly, causing them to be thrown out of the feeder.
Material Characteristics:
The characteristics of the material components can also contribute to the throwing issue. If the components are too small or too light, they may not be able to be properly held by the feeder. Additionally, if the components are irregularly shaped, they may not be able to fit properly in the feeder, leading to throwing issues.
Solutions to Eliminate Static Electricity and Prevent Throwing:
Replace the Material:
If the components reel or material is the source of the static electricity, it may be necessary to replace the material. Look for materials that have anti-static properties or lower surface resistance, which can help to prevent static buildup. Consider using materials such as conductive foam, anti-static bags or trays, or conductive polycarbonate.
Ionization:
Another solution to eliminate static electricity is ionization. Ionization involves adding ions to the air surrounding the components, which neutralizes any static charge. To ionize the air, you can use an ionizing blower or ionizing bar.
Anti-Static Materials:
Using anti-static materials can also help prevent static electricity buildup. Anti-static materials have a lower surface resistance, which allows any static electricity to be discharged. To prevent throwing from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder, you can use anti-static trays, bags, or coatings on the feeder.
Feeder Settings:
Properly setting the feeder is also important in preventing throwing. The feeder settings should be adjusted to match the characteristics of the material components. The feeder speed, vibration intensity, and pickup angle should be set correctly to prevent throwing.
Material Handling Techniques:
Material handling techniques can also help prevent throwing from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder. The components should be handled carefully, and they should be kept in an environment with low humidity. Additionally, the components should be stored in anti-static containers or bags to prevent static buildup.
Conclusion:
Static electricity is a common issue in the industrial sector, and it can cause a range of problems, from material handling issues to safety hazards. To prevent throwing from the Yamaha ZS electric feeder, replace the Material, ionization, anti-static materials, proper feeder settings, and material handling techniques can be used. Implementing these solutions can help prevent throwing and improve the efficiency and safety of industrial processes.
