Abstract

This paper focuses on the design and testing of a differential motion conveyor using a single linear motor as a drive. Integrating simulation with physical experiment is an important element in the successful design of the conveyor. The experiments and computer simulation explored in this paper are carried out to determine the change in behaviour of the material being conveyed, using various excitation profiles, when
the surface properties of the trough bed are changed. The aim is to identify the system parameters where by the material is conveyed most efficiently.
