Abstract

For electronic components, micro parts are produced in large quantities. Hence, in modern production lines constantly increasing stroke rates are targeted to reach high productivity. The used foil material is usually fed by roll feeding systems, which limit the feeding rate and potentially cause damage to the foil’s surface. A promising alternative is a feeding concept based on the operating principle of a linear induction machine in which the feeding force is applied in the form of Lorentz Force. In this paper, a simulation study is presented, investigating the potential of the abovementioned feeding principle. This includes a parametric simulation study on the design parameters of a demonstrator to evaluate their influence on the resulting feeding force. In case the device is handling pre-processed foils, the potential feeding force can be affected by the processed material. Thus, the application of the electromagnetic acceleration on variously shaped cutouts in foils is investigated.
