A vibratory feeder is an apparatus used in manufacturing. It uses a drive mechanism to create rapid, directional vibrations. Specifically, this mechanism is either electromagnetic or electromechanical. The device generates motion in a pan or trough. This repetitive motion combines a subtle upward and forward thrust. Consequently, the material is propelled forward in a continuous series of slides or micro-hops. … Read More
