This video is about building a 3D printed vibration bowl feeder system. Vibration Bowl Feeders, also known as vibratory bowl feeders, are of great importance in many industrial applications. They play a critical role in the separation and precise positioning of various components.
They are often found at the beginning of a production line, aligning and feeding parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, electronic components and small parts.
We will explore the design of this impressive system in detail and also take a look at the Arduino code used to control it. One exciting topic is the DDS algorithm, which allows sine waves to be generated digitally.
If you want to learn more about how a Vibration Bowl Feeder system works and how to build it, this video is for you.

I have printed a few versions of 3d printed feeder bowls for my factory job, but never the base, very cool to see the effort you put into the design, and video editing.

Hello! Really cool design and machine! Thanks for sharing! I am currently learning more about 3D printing myself. I was curious, if you don't mind answering; how long did it take to print the larger components and pieces of the body?

@FraensEngineering 9 ай бұрын

Hello, unfortunately I don't know that exactly anymore. I have a Voron 2.4 printer. This is a relatively fast printer. I print the perimeter with approx. 110mm/s. The infill is even faster. Around 130mm/s. The dish has printed about 7 hours I guess.

This is really cool to see you figure it out. Instead of a flat electro mag, could you benefit from a 2 piece solenoid? With the core mounted to the acting plate projecting through the windings on the base. Maybe it would desensitize the mag gap since you'd be acting on a cylindrical core instead of a flat surface. Then you could more easily tune it with the drive for whatever spring and load you have.

Yes, you are right. Original feeder systems use other magnets. However, these are extremely expensive. I wanted to implement it with a simple, inexpensive pot magnet.

Hi friend! Very nice job and research. It works really well for 3d printed construction. Tell me please, what angle of plate tilt did you find optimal, how much angles from vertical axis? Thanks in advance.

@FraensEngineering 4 ай бұрын

The angle is partly responsible for the conveying speed. I think between 45 and 60 degrees to the horizontal should be good.

@davidreis7152 6 ай бұрын

Great video! On the linear feeder what variables would afect the speed of the objects the most? And do you think PLA would resist for a long time before fadige strats to weaken the material?

@FraensEngineering 6 ай бұрын

The speed is determined by the installation angle of the springs. I am currently working on a project where I am also using PLA springs. These broke after about 2 days of continuous running. I am currently testing with PETG. I will then show my findings in a video.

@davidreis7152 6 ай бұрын

I forgot to ask, is it possible to use a weaker magnet, for exemple 30kg of strenght? I want to build a 3D printed linear feeder for golf tees. Since they are light objects, the strenght of the springs can also be reduced, and therefore the strenght the magnet? Also, can you share the wiring diagram you used with both potentiometers? @@FraensEngineering

Could an Arduino Nano be used instead of an Uno? Is the code listed on your website complete or is it available to download somewhere? Thank you for sharing this - excellent work!

@FraensEngineering 9 ай бұрын

Hello, the code on my website is complete. I think it should also work with a nano. I would not think of anything now why not. If you test it, let me know.

@theAGanimators 9 ай бұрын

Sorry, one more question. Do you think this polarity reversing benefit will work when using a neodymium magnet instead of a steel plate? I plan on using this with a linear feeder similar to the one you show at the beginning of your video. In my case I am very space limited and hope to get away with three P20/15 24v (250 ohm) electromagnets wired in parallel. Thanks.

Perhaps in the future it can replace CNC and hand-made vibrant bowl feeders, we use many in our machines...

This would be an excellent base for something called a vibratory tumbler. Basically, it works by shaking rocks or metal parts with some polishing grit and water. The one’s that rely on solenoids instead of rotary motors are extremely expensive. But your design would make these tools much more accessible. All you would need to do is print a bundt cake shaped bowl for the rocks to sit in and put on a lid.

@FraensEngineering 8 ай бұрын

That's an excellent idea. Maybe I'll put it into practice. We used to have something like that in the company where I worked. It was a large horizontal drum in which we deburred the laser-cut parts. I am always open to new ideas. Thank you very much :-)

@Tbugfish 8 ай бұрын

I actually found your video while researching how to make my own polisher. If you designed this into a rock polisher, I’d buy it. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a very basic control board for the electromagnet using a 555 timer instead of an arduino. The biggest issues with the polishers you can buy at the store is that the bowls rust, crack, and leak. Also, the motors they use burn out quickly. I really just want to build something like what you have here but with using potentiometers to control amperage and frequency instead of trying to do any programming.

I wish this worked more like discord so i could share screenshots and other diagrams. I made a tinkercad version of the controller but i have no idea if it would work.

How well would this scale up in size do you think?

@FraensEngineering 6 ай бұрын

The drive unit can be safely used for a larger bowl. The magnet has a decent performance.

@born2biscuit 3 ай бұрын

Can it count the parts for inventory purposes?

@FraensEngineering 3 ай бұрын

A separate sensor system with evaluation would be necessary for counting. The feeder only separates the parts.

@FraensEngineering Ай бұрын

I think it will in the future. Making the bowls is extremely time-consuming. 3D printing is a very good option here. When metal 3D printing becomes cheaper, it will certainly be an alternative.
