Dyna-Slide Gentle Handling Magnet Feeders

When it comes to gentle handling vibratory parts feeders, Dyna-Slide delivers!  If we can feed light bulbs without damaging the parts, we can feed magnet blanks.  The system shown in the video below feeds and orients magnets standing on end and then feeds them past a vision system camera to determine right-side-up orientation.  Magnets are then ‘flipped’ one way or the other by an air knife and then collected into a single line stream of properly oriented parts.  Those right-side-up parts are then distributed to two output lanes that each feed 60 parts per minute to customer’s downline tooling.

Vibratory feeder brush (vibratory feeder carpet) by DYNA-SLIDE

Dyna-Slide Directional Feeder Brush is available in sizes up to 12″W x 60″L

3M Brushlon, a product of 3M Corporation, has been utilized for vibratory parts feeders, vibratory conveyors, and vibratory accumulators for decades. CDS LIPE Dyna-Slide vibratory parts feeders have used 3M Brushlon with a 20-degree tilt for many years to be gently feed and orient a wide variety of parts without damage. To the surprise of many who relied on 3M Brushlon, the product was discontinued by 3M Corporation around 2020.

With such a high demand for vibratory feeder brush similar to 3M 321B and 331B series
Brushlon, CDS LIPE has developed our own line of vibratory feeder brush mats with a 20-degree fiber tilt and comparable trim lengths. After extensive testing and in consideration of our customer’s expectations, we are pleased to offer DYNA-SLIDE DIRECTIONAL FEEDER
BRUSH as a comparable alternative to 3M Brushlon for your vibratory parts feeding requirements.

Dyna-Slide Directional Feeder Brush is ideal for moving parts, packages or materials quickly, gently and quietly. Its 20 degree fiber on a vibratory surface efficiently feeds, orients, accumulates, transports an extraordinary variety of parts packaged and materials Replaceable, long lasting brush is gentle on fragile parts and part surfaces. Typical Dyna-Slide Brushlon conveyor, feeder or accumulator operate at less than 65 dba.  Available for both wet and dry applications.  Also know as carpet conveyors and brush conveyors.

Check these videos of vibratory parts feeders, conveyors, and accumulators designed and built by CDS LIPE using directional feeder brush: Gentle Parts Feeders by Dyna-Slide – CDS LIPE (cds-lipe.com)

CDS Manufacturing completed an automatic system that inspects worm gear shafts for journal diameter and inspects for the presence of chips wrapped around both ends. Parts we fed from a vibratory bowl feeder to a gravity track with the parts oriented end to end with the short end leading. A hold and release mechanism allowed one part at a time into an inspection nest where an LED inspection system measured the journal diameter. Upon completion of the journal diameter inspection, a vision system, with the aid of back lighting, inspected the part for chips wrapped around either end of the part. A good / reject part gating system was provided to separate the parts. Parts found to have a journal diameter that did not fall within the specified limits were gated as rejects. Parts that passed the LED and vision inspection were gated as good parts and exited the system via the output chute provided.
