This is absolutely stunning and a joy to watch. Well done. I'm seriously tempted to give this a go. I use commercial equipment like this daily (I'm in direct mail) and I'm in the design stage of building a piece of equipment to apply mailing labels to envelopes so this will help. You attention to detail is awe inspiring so thanks a million for sharing your gift with us. Cheers.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I did a lot of testing and it took me a few tries until it worked well. I am currently working on an industrial version. I am designing a feeder for use in labeling 50 kg bags. I hope that this feeder will work as well as my 3D printed one.
I purchased the frictoin feeder files. The only thing I'm missing is the information on the motor driver and ir sensor you usedalong with the arm to hold the ir sensor.
The amount of engineering it takes to build a simple printer that almost everyone has in their home is just amazes me my canon printer has a paper tray underneath it it can take papers from that tray with ease and the rolling mechanism inside of it can also somehow flip the papers to print on both sides im not actually amazed by the feeder mechanism itself but the fact that it can somehow flip the pages around is just idk it was an engineering orgasm
Very very cool design! I had a stab at something similar, although with discontinuous feeding. You can find my writeup under "Paper Feeding" on my blog. Would love to hear your thoughts... My biggest struggle was getting the stripper wheel to apply consistent force. I like how you incorporated a small segment of linear rail to keep it in position. What made you decide to go that route?
Hello, I enjoyed reading your post. You describe the highs and lows of a mechanical engineer very well. Identifying and solving a problem is an extremely satisfying feeling. There are days when you want to throw everything away and days when you make progress. The idea is very well solved. Is there a video of the finished machine? I would be very interested. Unfortunately, some of the clips on your website don't work.
Hi, thank you for writing your blog I'm just a hobbyist but i've been reading it for the last 20 minutes and really enjoying it. I love automating tasks it feels like magic and the possibilities if you get good at it seem endless
@@FraensEngineering This machine is similar to the industrial version of doypack feeder for labeling machines. So, I'm curious if it can be used for this purpose. here is a link with doypack feeder ruclips.net/video/7jsO2WjHIa8/видео.html
@@FraensEngineering I mean if anyone tested it for doypack printing/labeling. Here is a similar industrial machine for printing. ruclips.net/video/7jsO2WjHIa8/видео.html
@@FraensEngineering Please see the "Savema Feeder-Conveyor Belt with SVM 107 Intermittent with Doypack Packages in Spain Market" in RUclips. There's a similar machine for feeding the printer. I'm curious if I can use your design for that.
Thank you for providing the STEP files in the Package, this is something that to many sellers form played models forgot.
I am very pleased that you like it. Have fun building the machine ;-)

Beautiful work, as always. Makes me (a software engineer by trade) envious of you mechanical folks.
I've always missed the physical aspect of programming. That's why I prefer machines ;-)
For a couple hundred bucks you can get a serious CAD program and a decent 3d printer. It is super accessible compared to just 10 years ago!
You're the master of mashines😎
And you are the Master of FTB ;-)
Amazing. I'm speechless.

Hi, please write me on Etsy or an email (FraensEngineering@gmx.at). I will of course send you the files immediately.

Printers were one of my inspirations for building this machine. Using the right technique, it is not difficult to separate sheets.

Hi. Very great build, I love it!
May I ask what did you use for the linear sliding mechanism in the friction roller?
It is a simple linear guide from Amazon.
Amazing as always!!
Hello. Is it possible to buy this already made? It’s exactly what I need. Cheers.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer a physical product at the moment.
@@FraensEngineering Okay. No problem. Thank you for getting back to me.
Und, war die nacht lang? Toller video!👍
Are you engineer for statec binder ?
Yes, I am a design engineer at Statec Binder. That's right ;-)
I like your design. Congratulations. I'll try to made it. Thank you
Thank you very much. I think the machine could find many areas of application.
@@FraensEngineering I'll try to adapt to numbering machine.
What's media formats you design this feeder?
It is designed for A5 sheets W=150mm. The length is not too exact.
What does it do?
I don't really understand the concept.
It is a friction feeder. These are used in industry to separate stacked materials. For example labels.
Was this a paid promo by Laserpecker?
Does anyone test it for doypack or plastic sachets with zip? Does it work?
What do you mean exactly? Can you send a link?
