procedures in case of an emergency. In case of fire, CO2is used to extinguish the
fire.
1-3) Safety

The AIVE® feeder is available with a square plastic box attached to the top of the
vibrator and optionally a backlight to illuminate the part.
The plastic upper of AIVE® can be selected according to the product supplied, the
material required, and the color required for the thick product.
The AIVE® feeder is a vibration feeder that can supply a variety of components using a
visionary industrial robot system. The parts come in a variety of shapes and can be
made from a variety of materials.
Contact AIM Engineering for slippery, fragile, or precision parts.
AIVE® feeders are not suitable for handling liquid products or flexible materials.
1-4) Introducing and using AIVE
Most of the AIVE® components are located inside
the body. The top of the unit has an exposed
vibrating feeder and the top of the AIVE is equipped
with a user-supplied camera.
Pictured from the side is the outside of the AIVE®
feeder. Because the vibrating platform is translucent,
the camera can discern the silhouette of the plastic
part.

3-1) Principle of operation
2)Stroke
Vertical travel distance. The unit is mm. Inputs up to 7.5mm are possible.
For example, 2mm moves around Home by 2mm up and 2mm down, for a total of 4mm.
3)Frequency
How fast are the iterations? It can be used up to 90Hz.
1)Motor on / Servo on
Activate the feeder's internal motor and encoder.
A precision encoder has a resolution of 1 micrometer.
AIVE provides fast vertical reciprocation while controlling precise positioning. It provides
smooth and precise vibration by reciprocating with acceleration/deceleration at a certain
position.
4)Time / Duration
This is the period during which vibrations work.
