Spring Feeder VibroE SF

For springs with a high degree of entanglement

Do your springs form hanks and seem impossible to disentangle?

Are the coils irregular and opened at their ends, encouraging their interpenetration?

Have you tried opening them by hand, but are still finding it difficult to separate them?

Does your machine cycle require high feed rates and are you unable to load them by hand with an operator?

VibroE SF Feeder will solve all your problems

The problem, the solution

VibroE SF is the evolution of VIBRO SF, in fact it combines the vibrating system with an electrical device to disentangle springs. Springs are subjected to more steps which allow their opening and the disentanglement. Whether they should not open up due to the vibration, they continue through the electrical disentangler, which is able to separate even the hardest springs. If this step is not successful on the first pass, the pieces are reintroduced and the same procedure is repeated until they are all separate. The logic behind this hybrid solution is, in fact, to create a continuous loop for springs that remain
entangled. The key, however, is to handle untangled springs and tangled springs on separate ways, so that they do not get mixed up.

Why is it dangerous for single springs and entangled springs to come into contact with one another?
Because, as these springs are more prone to get entangled, it is highly likely that even springs that have already been separated
may become entangled again and form hanks.

How can we know if the springs can be untangled?
By testing them. This step is essential for determining whether the project is actually feasible. Given the same
dimensions, we can work out which system is best suited simply by observing how the tested pieces behave.

How it works:
VibroE SF combines all the benefits of a vibrating system with those of an electric shaker. Used individually, they would be unlikely to produce satisfactory results, but when used in combination, they allow their respective capabilities to untangle springs to be fully utilised.

The process begins with controlled loading, followed by the feeding of the pieces via vibration, during which the springs are subjected to various dedicated air jets, and finally reaches the electric shaker, where the springs that are still entangled are sent through a dedicated
process.

There’s always a very small percentage of pieces that remain on the
bottom of the vibrating bowl, which the operator has to remove by hand.

Springs that are still entangled can only be fed into the electrical disentangler, repeating the process step by step.
Every spring requires a bespoke solution, we are here to work it out with you.

Ideale per molle con:

Size
Lunghezze da 3 a 20 mm
Flatten
Diametro da 1,5 a 8 mm

Process

The process

Step 1

Automatic loading of the system and introduction of the springs into the vibrating bowl

Step 2

Vibration and air bellows directing jets of air against the springs, causing them to open and separate

Step 3

Still-entangled springs are fed into the electrical disentangler, to repeat the process step by step

Available configurations

Video Gallery

VibroE SF in action

This video shows all the operational stages of the VibroE Spring Feeder. You can observe the initial advancement of the parts in the vibratory bowl, where springs are oriented and pre-singulated, and the subsequent untangling stage through the separator unit. The video provides a detailed look at the final singulation system in the control zone, engineered to guarantee the exclusive transit of single springs while fully respecting the cycle times required by your production line.

VibroE SF: with smaller springs

In the video you can see the detail of the springs being fed from the hopper into the vibrating bowl. The untangling unit, in this case, is compact to match the small size of the springs.
Finally, we see the singulation phase, which deliver a single spring in perfect alignment with the required machine cycle times.

Control zone

Detail of the control zone: single springs are fed into the singulation cycle, while those still tangled are redirected into the vibrating bowl, automatically restarting the untangling and selection process from the beginning.
