Modal Analysis of Bowl Parts Feeder Activated by Piezoactuators
압전작동기로 구동되는 원통형 Parts Feeder의 모드 해석
Abstract
This paper presents modal characteristics of bowl parts feeder featuring piezoelectric actuators. As wellknown, the piezoelectric materials develop an electric charge proportional to a mechanical stress and vice versa. This generic phenomenon allows us to use the piezoelectric materials as sensors and actuators. Using the actuating property, we can device effective bowl parts feeder. The parts feeder activated by the piezoceramic actuators provides a large degree of freedom of controlling excitation magnitude and frequency, and thus accurate and fast feeding of various parts. As a first phase to demonstrate these advantages, a finite clement model of the bowl parts feeder is constructed and analyzed using commercial software packages. In addition, the simulated modal characteristics are compared with the measured ones to validate the proposed model.
