TIXON VIBRO

Vibratory Feeders for screws and components

View more
View catalog

The vibratory feeder works by separating and feeding the components using the action of a vibration drive. It has a wide range of uses for the various types of materials being fed.

The feeder has the ability to control the amount of components in the feeder’s hopper. It is also possible to attach additional sensors to the feeder in order to accurately monitor the position of the components, and to accelerate the feeding process itself.

Versions:

TIXON-V 0,8-AC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 0.8L.

TIXON-V 0,8-NC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, has to be controlled by an external PLC, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings included, volume 0.8L.

TIXON-V 1,1-AC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 1.1L.

TIXON-V 1,1 NC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 1.1L.

This linear feeder feeds and separates the supplied components in a linear movement through the use of a pneumatic cylinder. This paves the way for a wide range of applications for various types of supplied materials.

It is possible to control the quantity of the components in this feeder’s hopper. This feeder produces significantly lower levels of noise and dust compared to a vibratory feeder— making it suitable for clean environments.

TIXON-SW 1,7 NC: without control unit, includes pneumatic cylinders, has to be controlled by an external PLC, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings included, volume 1.7L.

TIXON HOPPER – hoppers for Feeders

This is a conveyor storage bin designed for feeders that increases the component inventory for the feeder by up to an impressive 6 litres.

  • It is powered by a 24V motor.
  • It is possible to add a manual button for starting the conveyor.
  • It is possible for the motor to be placed on the left or right side.

TIXON CLEANER – cleaner for screws

If increased cleanliness is part of the specification for the tightening process, we can integrate this device with each of the feeders.

In the first position; the screw is stopped and contaminants are vacuumed away. In the second position; the newly cleaned screw leaves the cleaning unit and continues to the tightening section.

TIXON SWITCHER – switcher for screws

This is a device that can be integrated between the feeder and the tightening unit. If the use of one feeder for two tightening units is desired; a splitter can be used to distribute the screws for both units simultaneously.

This splitter is also used when we want to feed different screws from two feeders into one tightening unit.

View catalog

To cater for bespoke customer requirements, we have ensured that it is possible to add various types of auxiliary equipment to each tightening unit.

In cases where there is insufficient space present above the tightening unit; the power unit can be fixed using a 180-degree gearbox, which reduces the overall footprint of the equipment.

Similarly, when integrating tightening units into various linear positioning devices; it is possible to combine a handle with an integrated button for the operator to control the tightening process.
