Vibratory Feeder Noise Reduction
■The past century has been witness to unprecedented changes in industrial manufacturing technology. Advancements in materials, methods, and control systems have led to higher quality, tighter tolerances and increased production speeds. All of these lead to lower costs, lower prices, and subsequently, increased demand. The increased demand drives the pursuit of ever-increasing speeds and the cycle repeats. As production machinery is pressed for faster and faster speed, machine cycle rates increase, vibration increases, and there is a corresponding increase in noise levels.
■Vibratory feeders are not immune to this exponential rise in speed requirements. As one of the fundamental building blocks of automated assembly systems, ever-larger feeders are being pressed to run ever faster to keep up with ever increasing production rates. Additionally, as the use of automated assembly systems proliferates, so does the absolute number of feeders at a given facility. Increasing quantities and increasing rates of feeders lead to increased noise levels in the workplace.
■Noise—any sound in excessive volume—has long been identified as a major cause of hearing loss. It is the major cause of preventable hearing loss. In addition to putting employees at risk for hearing loss, excessive noise levels have been linked to increased accident rates, decreased quality, and low worker productivity. Hence, any opportunity to reduce noise levels should be viewed as an opportunity to improve company profitability.
