Parts supply control device and parts supply control method in the parts feeder

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the size and power consumption of a parts feeder in consideration of the relationship between the amount of sent parts of the parts feeder and the amount of parts replenished. SOLUTION: A guide shooter 10 is installed at a position where a small part 33 is dropped into a circular bowl 6 of a vibrating parts feeder 3, an electric vibrator 14 is attached to the guide shooter 10, and a small part 33 is attached to the guide shooter 10. The attracting electromagnet 44 is arranged on the back surface side of the sliding plate 21, and the detecting means 28 for detecting the amount of parts stored in the circular bowl 6 is provided. The detecting portion 28a of the detecting means 28 is the height H of the small part 33. The position is set lower than that, and the attractive force stop time of the electromagnet 44 and the operating time of the vibrator 14 are set so that the small parts 33 do not become stacked on the bottom plate 6b of the circular bowl 6, and the shortage of the parts storage amount is detected. At that time, the attractive force of the electromagnet 44 is extinguished, the vibrator 14 is operated, and the circular bowl 6 is replenished so as not to be in a laminated state.
