Abstract
Part Separation with the Aerodynamic Centrifuge - Flow Characteristics and Resulting Design Options. As a result of proceeding customer individualization the trend of shortening product life cycles goes on. Due to this the machinery and equipment used for manufacturing processes should be designed non-product related in order to enable them for a further usage in case of product changes. A solution to this problem in the area of part feeding is the aerodynamic centrifuge, which separates parts in a pre-orientation. A high speed aerodynamic part feeding method [1-3] developed by the Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) of Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany, utilizes conventional separation systems such as VBF or centrifugal bowl feeders (CBF) in conjunction with air nozzles for the orientation. The aerodynamic centrifuge is a new method which is completely based on the principle of an air swirl in a cylinder [4]. Using the aerodynamic centrifuge, geometrically different components with high feeding rates or pieces with limp elements, for example, can be separated and oriented. In this paper, after a general description of part separation in the field of feeding technology is given, first the operation of the aerodynamic centrifuge is described. Following the examination of the flow in the cylinder is described and corresponding conclusions about the design of the centrifuge are drawn.
