5.2. Asycubes 240, 380 and 530
The Asycubes 240, 380 and 530 are equipped with four actuators, one in each corner of the
platform. Below are some hints that are useful to adjust the vibrations:
• The direction of the movement of the parts on the platform is the result of the
combination of the excitation of actuators on the opposite side of the target end
position of parts.
Figure 5-2 : Activating both actuators Act.3 and Act.4 makes the parts move away
from them, resulting in this case in a forward vibration. When choosing an amplitude
that is larger for actuator Act.1 than for the two neighbouring actuators Act.2 and
Act.3, we obtain a diagonal movement of parts (backward left vibration).
• For all the platform vibrations except the ‘Flip’, ‘Short’- and ‘Long axis centring' the
frequency is usually the same. Once a suitable frequency is found for the
displacement of the parts on the platform, it generally suits the other displacements
too.
• If the parts do not move exactly towards the desired target, it is possible to adjust the
amplitude of neighbouring actuators in order to correct the displacement direction of
the parts.

NOTE:
The hints provided are general and may not be perfectly suited to your Asycube. We
recommend the use of vibration set 26 as a starting point, as it is configured and tested on
your product using a standard part.
