VCAZ series Programmable Flexible Vibrating Feeder Voice Coil Motor Fast Response

Product Overview

The VCAZ0020-0040-00A programmable flexible vibrating feeder voice coil motor is built for flexible production lines that switch between many workpieces. Rather than retooling a mechanical feeder for each part, operators simply load a new drive program and the actuator reproduces the exact amplitude, frequency and acceleration that workpiece needs. With a 20.5 N peak force, an 8.9 N continuous stall force and a 3 mm stroke, it has the authority to move parts across the flexible tray in multiple directions, while the direct-drive voice coil design keeps response fast and motion smooth.

Solution

High-mix manufacturing punishes slow changeovers, and adjusting a traditional vibratory bowl for every new part wastes hours of production time. The VCAZ0020 removes that bottleneck by making the vibration fully programmable: amplitude and frequency are set electronically, so one flexible feeding platform can drive dozens of different workpieces by loading saved recipes. The actuator moves parts in forward, reverse, disperse and converge patterns, and when several axes are combined on the tray it can also turn parts over, so irregular and thin workpieces are presented correctly for vision and robot picking. Fast response and stable force control keep the feed rate consistent, while the robust 150 °C winding rating and 65.3 W peak power allow continuous operation. The outcome is faster product changeover, higher equipment utilisation and a flexible feeding system that grows with the product range.

Customization and Support

SUPT MOTION provides application engineering for custom stroke, thrust and multi axis tray configurations, and supplies drive electronics with recipe management so customers can save and reload feed programs. Sample actuators support changeover trials, engineers help tune each recipe, and all units are tested and covered by a standard warranty. Shipments use anti-static shockproof foam and export-grade cartons, with samples typically available in 3-5 days.

FAQ

Q1: How fast can it change over between parts?
Because vibration parameters are stored as recipes, changeover is done by loading a new program instead of mechanically retuning the feeder.

Q2: What motion patterns can it produce?
Forward, reverse, disperse and converge patterns, and with multiple axes it can also turn parts over.

Q3: What is the peak force and stroke?
The VCAZ0020-0040-00A delivers a 20.5 N peak force with a 3 mm total stroke.

Q4: Can it run continuously in high-mix production?
Yes. The winding is rated to 150 °C and the actuator is designed for continuous duty.

Q5: Is it suitable for vision and robot picking?
Yes. Stable force control presents parts correctly for vision cameras and robot grippers.
