If the rail feeding speed or height amplitude is not uniform but rather higher at the exit than at the entry, this indicates
that the spring angle is incorrectly set relative to the centre-of-gravity angle (see Section 5.1.3). In this case proceed
as follows:
• Increase the spring angle on all spring packs.
• Displace counterweight ‘F’ against part travel direction.
• Fit additional weighting plates to the counterweight.
• Install additional weight 'G' in the vibratory unit's supporting member.
If the rail feeding speed or height amplitude is not uniform but rather higher at the entry than at the exit, this indicates
that the spring angle is incorrectly set relative to the centre-of-gravity angle (see Section 5.1.3). In this case proceed
as follows:
• Decrease the spring angle on all spring packs.
• Displace counterweight ‘F’ in part travel direction.
• Remove additional weighting plates from the counterweight.
• Remove additional weight 'G' from the vibratory unit's supporting member.
If the rail speed is uniform but the running behaviour is instable and the product jumps too much between rail contact
surface and top cover, this indicates that the centre-of-gravity angle and the set spring angle of the overall system and
thus the height amplitude is too large. In this case proceed as follows:
• Change the centre-of-gravity angle (more 'flat') by shifting the counterweight 'F' against the feeding direction,
attaching additional weighting plates to the counterweight, installing the additional weight into the vibratory unit
supporting member and making the feed rail lighter, if necessary.
• Adjust the spring angle to match the new centre-of-gravity angle.
If despite uniform height amplitude the running behaviour is unstable, especially with product having a large contact
area or oil-contaminated parts, this indicates that the centre-of-gravity angle and the set spring angle of the entire system is too small. The height amplitude is too small. This prevents the throwing motion and in case of oily product the
adhesive force is higher than the throwing force, i.e. the product cannot take off. In this case proceed as follows:
• Change the centre-of-gravity angle (more 'steep') by shifting the counterweight 'F' in feeding direction, remov-
ing weighting plates from the counterweight and removing the additional weight from the vibratory unit supporting member.
• Adjust the spring angle to match the new centre-of-gravity angle.
If it is impossible to set-up the feed rail properly by following the above procedures and if lateral oscillation occurs or
'dead spots' are found in certain areas, then the stiffness of the rail is insufficient. The abutment joints move relative to
one another or non-symmetric rail sections lead to non-uniform running behaviour. In this case proceed as follows:
• Fit additional reinforcing ribs and screw abutment joints together.
• Counter-balance non-symmetric sections by weights or replace by material lighter in weight.
