Parts Feeder (Parts Supply Equipment) Downsizing and Weight Reduction of Motor Section

Issue: Making the Motor Section Smaller and Lighter

Equipment uses a three-phase induction motor to vibrate a feeder and orient a load in a certain direction before sending it to the next production process. (An inverter is used for speed control)

Application: Organizing and supplying springs, clips, etc.

Challenge:

The motor’s L dimension is long, which limits installation locations for equipment
The equipment as a whole is large and heavy, making installation and maintenance difficult

Solution: Brushless Motor BMU Series - A Smaller and Lighter Motor Section

The Brushless Motor BMU Series is used to reduce the weight of the motors. The smaller the motor, the greater the degree of freedom for equipment installation. The weight of the motor is also reduced as well, which makes for easier installation and maintenance.

Contributes to the Downsizing and Weight Reduction of Equipment

Switching from three-phase induction motors to the BMU Series allows for the entire piece of equipment to be smaller and lighter.

This provides a greater degree of freedom with installation and increases work efficiency for installation and maintenance.

A Fanless Design Prevents Dust Agitation

Because brushless motors do not have cooling fans, they do not stir up dust. This prevents foreign particles from contaminating and adhering to loads.
