Abstract
In order to maintain highly efficient production techniques, machining processes become constantly faster. The current mechanisms of material feeding systems are solely based on mechanics as roller and gripper feeder. The speed limits of these devices are already at a maximum level. An innovative electromagnetic feeding system for moving electrically conductive workpieces without contact forces, but electromagnetic forces, has been developed at the IFUM. The concept is based on the linear induction motor in double stator arrangement which can provide a highly dynamic and sensitive material movement. Field forming elements are introduced in this paper. They are built to achieve maximum efficiency for the device when moving different workpiece geometries. The investigation and optimization of the feeding system was performed by both, a parameterized finite element (FE) model as well as an experimental approach. The paper states, that field formers.
