Move parts forward into region x Move parts backward into region x	Select a shifting direction. "x" is the pick region (either A, B, C, or D) selected on the Pick screen. The shift direction will vary depending on the feeder installation direction. The actual shift direction is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.

Frequency	Set the frequency of the vibration. Unit: Hz

Guidelines for adjustment, the Shift Forward and test
The Shift Forward is the process of moving parts into the specified pick region. When the number of parts in the pick region decreases, the Shift Forward operation moves parts from the standby area into the pick region.
The figure below shows the ideal result of the previous shift operation to region B.

Adjust the duration time so that the part moves the proper distance (half the length of the platform’s edge). If the part moves too far, they will get stuck at the edge of the platform. If the part is not moved enough, the area will not be supplied with enough parts, resulting in inefficiency. Adjust the amplitude and frequency so that the parts move properly (keep the distance of each parts before the movement). If the part does not move smoothly, they will touch or overlap each other, resulting in low efficiency.

1. Put an appropriate number of parts (e.g. 1/2 of the optimal number of parts) into the displayed region.
2. Click the [Run] button.
3. Check the operation.
   Adjust the parameters as needed and click the [Run] button again. Refer to the following for further details.

Guidelines for adjustment the Shift Backward and test　The Shift Backward operation moves parts that have accumulated against the platform wall back into the pick region. The figure below shows the ideal result of the Shift Backward operation to region B.

Adjust the duration time (and amplitude or frequency) so that the part moves an appropriate distance (enough so that the part near the corner of the platform returns to the pick region). Moving the part too far will cause the part to move out of the region, which is inefficient.

1. Put an appropriate number of parts (e.g. 4 pcs) into the corner of the displayed region. (Near the edge the platform)
