FEEDER Contains the all hardware, drive motor, and belts for singulating and
feeding product from a stack.
Gate assembly and adjustment Mounted on a gate plate directly above the feed belts, this device provides
a curvature to help preshingle stacked product. When properly adjusted,
a one-thickness gap is created to help singulate and eject product. Three
types of gate assemblies are available, standard O-ring gate, bar gate
(optional), and advancing O-ring gate (optional).
Top panel (table top) Used to support the back wedge. Also provides access to interior of
feeder.
Side guides and adjustments Holds a stack of product to be fed and helps keep it straight for proper
entry through the gate assembly area.
Back wedge and adjustments Lifts the product to keep it off the table top, reduces excessive contact with
the feed belts, and helps push the product against the curvature of the
gate assembly. Four (4) types of wedge assemblies are available, double
S, low-prole, and articulating roller (optional), triangle wedge (optional).
Hold-down and adjustments This series of rollers provides a varying pressure on top of product to force
it down on the discharge belt, thus helping to eject a single product after it
exits the gate assembly area.
Extension, photo sensor Also called a sheet sensor, it “looks” for the leading edge of the product to
stop the feeder momentarily. For effective operation, a movable extension
allows you to adjust for distance and perpendicular to product.
Feed belts Provides the friction and motion necessary to pull individual product from
the bottom of the stack and through the gate assembly area.
Discharge belts Combined with the hold-down rollers, provides the friction and motion
necessary to pull product away from the gate assembly area. Rotates 50%
faster than feed belts to separate and eject the bottom product away from
next product entering the gate assembly area.
CONTROLLER Contains the electronics and controls for operating the feeder. Also,
it provides AC power and sensor communications to the feeder via
an interconnect cable.
Control panel (top) Contains all controls, ight sensor connector, and interface/power
connectors.
Front access panel Allows access to controller box interior.
Cooling fan Draws external air into the interior of box to cool components.
Stand (optional) Supports the feeder and controller.
