In brief

Agree production magnet samples, supplied magnetic state, normal clusters and final presentation before testing. Retain accepted singles at the actual receiving tool, multiple or incorrectly presented parts, required polarity decisions and damage results. Include pickup and release, bulk-level changes, refill and the defined containment/recovery response.

Link the identified parts and tooling conditions to the complete feeding sequence. Inspect parts after repeated handling and retain the damage acceptance decision. Quoted feeder output is not the same as usable delivery, and mechanical position alone does not prove polarity.

Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Magnet Feeding Systems

Plan magnet feeding systems around real component variation, bulk condition, orientation, usable delivery rate and the downstream interface. Discuss representative part trials with Sorting Solutions. Use this guide to resolve jam, damage and recovery acceptance checks before it limits the final system.

What to record

Jam, Damage and Recovery Acceptance Checks: condition, range and effect on your process

Current condition

Identify magnet revision/geometry, supplied magnetic state and packaging, realistic clusters/stacks/trays and permitted contact surfaces. Record required face or polarity and the actual receiving-tool/nearby-material arrangement.

Realistic range

Include normal clusters, supplier/part variation, bulk-level changes, refill and part changes, plus cosmetic or edge limits. State the incoming conditions, tooling or required polarity decisions that remain outside the trial.

Effect on the system

Observe singulation, recirculation, multiple parts, orientation and any required polarity verification, then pickup/release at handoff. Retain accepted singles, damage decisions, interventions and the agreed uncertain-part containment and recovery results.

Before you contact us

Five questions about jam, damage and recovery acceptance checks for your application

  1. Who can confirm this information?Identify part/supplier, production/quality and tooling/integration owners for supplied magnetic condition, final face/polarity, permitted contact and retained trial decisions.
  2. How representative is the sample?Use the actual magnet revision in its normal packaging and magnetic state, including representative clusters/stacks/trays rather than only manually separated samples.
  3. What is the difficult condition?Include difficult normal clusters, multiple parts, bulk-level/refill changes, wrong presentation and release at the real tool with nearby metal represented.
  4. How will you judge the result?Count accepted singles at downstream handoff, retaining orientation and required polarity decisions, damage examples, multiple parts, interventions and recovery results.
  5. What else must be coordinated?Coordinate supply presentation, permitted contact, separation/orientation and any polarity decision with gripper/nest pickup and release, nearby materials, containment and recovery.

Question 1

Component Geometry and Variation for Magnetic-Component Separation & Feeding

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for component geometry and variation for magnetic-component separation & feeding. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.

Question 2

Surface, Fragility and Entanglement Behaviour

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for surface, fragility and entanglement behaviour. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.

Question 3

Bulk Condition and Replenishment Method

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for bulk condition and replenishment method. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.

Question 4

Required Orientation and Delivery Rate

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for required orientation and delivery rate. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.

Question 5

Escapement and Downstream Pick Interface

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for escapement and downstream pick interface. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.

Question 6

Jam, Damage and Recovery Acceptance Checks

For Magnet Feeding Systems Rate and recovery checklist, describe the current position, required outcome, acceptable limits and known exceptions for jam, damage and recovery acceptance checks. That lets us compare options against your real production rather than one nominal value.
