Yamaha Electric Feeders

[Vyacheslav Golovanov]

Hi.

I just noticed, that in NeoDen 10, Yamaha electric feeders is used without pressure sensor. In the photo, the feeder control board. These appear to be fully electric feeders. Does anyone know what protocol is used to control these feeders?

Thanks in advance.

there is no “protocol“, you just need a short trigger impulse (~1ms) to feed a part

the pitch, pickup window, etc. is adjusted with the buttons on the feeder

The Yamaha style electric feeders I have certainly use pressure to actuate the feeder. Does the Neoden 10 have their own special brand of electric feeders?

It's the same Yamaha electric feeders, but controlled by electric impulse, instead of pressure sensors. All the newest CN made feeders support it. You need to replace the small board with a pressure sensor to the board in the original post. Really good candidate for DIY PNP equipment, with average price in CN for about 75 USD.

The first feeders (~2018) did not yet have a pressure sensor and were only controlled by a feed pulse. The current versions can be switched between pneumatic triggers and electrical triggers on the control panel, with the electrical trigger naturally triggering faster. However, I have never been able to reach the full feed speed of more than ten components per second on my homemade machines.

What definitely sets these feeders apart is that they are very easy to use and now inexpensive to purchase. You don't need complicated busbar/controller systems, just a simple aluminum plate compatible with the proven Yamaha CL feeder dimensions.

You should just make sure you buy the right feeders, as there are now several different “Yamaha Electric Feeders” available, and in my opinion, the ones with the black handle are the most reliable.
