hectically (typically for the hopper)
Amount of time the
signal (i.e. the
vibration) lasts
Increasing the duration makes the
parts travel a longer distance on
the platform. Set the duration so
that the parts completely cross
the platform. Choosing a value of
0 ms corresponds to continuous
vibration (until the stop button is
pushed).
Table 5-1: Platform vibration parameters
Asycubes 50 and 80 work with three actuators in contrast to Asycubes 240, 380 and 530
which have four. This causes slight differences in behaviour. The following sections present
more in detail the behaviour of your Asycube and give some general advice on how to tune
the parameters.
NOTE:
The vibration set 26 is defined as being the default vibration set (not modifiable by the user):
The parameters are pre-adjusted so that the standard parts of your Asycube work correctly.
It is strongly recommended to use the default vibration set as a starting point for setting your
parameters.
5.1. Asycubes 50 and 80
The Asycube 50 and 80 work with three actuators: Two in-plane actuators (Figure 5-1: Act.1
and Act.2) and a vertical one (Act.3). Below are some hints that are useful to adjust the
vibrations:
• Use a small vertical vibration (non-zero amplitude for Act.3) for smooth displacement
of parts on the platform. Use a stronger vertical vibration (larger amplitude for Act.3)
for the ‘Flip’ vibration.
• With the exception of the 'Flip' vibration, the frequency of all platform vibrations is
usually identical, meaning that once a suitable frequency is found for the displacement
of the parts on the platform, the same frequency can be used for other types of
displacement.
• The direction of the movement of the parts on the platform is a result of the
combination of the two in-plane actuator vibrations (Act. 1 and Act.2). Switching the
