What are the Afag advantages?
Our feeding technology is special with its patented vibration force compensation. Thus our feeding systems have the following benefits for you:
- No Cross-Talk - The Afag vibratory drive is characterized by the patented reaction force compensation. In this way, the feed system compensates for the vibration forces in the drive unit. It helps avoid both the transmission of vibrations to the surrounding area, environment and several drives' mutual interference (Cross-Talk)
- Reduced costs and delivery times
- Highest precision of the feeds at the interfaces with minimum gap dimensions
- High availability of the entire feeding system
- Standardized feeding technology in a modular system consisting of feeding technology components and station layouts that can be adapted exactly to customer requirements
- Well-thought-out module variety makes the feeding technology by Afag practical for various applications
Our Afag feeding technology solutions
Are you looking for a solution to properly feed parts to the next stage of production? Then you have come to the right place! We at Afag can design the right solution in feeding technology for almost every part of geometry.
Our technology is based on two pillars. On the one hand, we use a 3D-CAD-based design as a basis for milling our polyamide, aluminum, and stainless steel bowls, ensuring complete reproducibility. On the other hand, our vibratory feeders are supplemented with a unique and incomparable system of vibration force compensation. The vibration in our drives is compensated by a counter-vibration mass. Interference vibrations in the working environment of the feeding systems are thus reduced to a minimum. This principle, unique in feeding technology and patented worldwide, is only available from Afag.

Application example for feeding in the field of automation by Afag - individual industry solutions for automated processes.
Feeding technology by Afag in the automotive industry
An automotive supplier's customer needed a feeding system that would provide more than 400 automotive fuses for further processing in a matter of minutes. Afag's engineers developed a customer-specific solution - a tailor-made solution for feeding technology in the automotive sector. We were able to fulfill all customer needs with seven interconnected feeding stations in one system. A total of 455 parts per minute were thus conveyed to their feed destination and made available at the feed destination position. Read more.
