Description
FEEDRkon – Frequency Controller for Vibratory Feeder
FEEDRkon : Vibratory Feeder Controller is a digital frequency controller. Its designed for electromagnetic vibratory bowl feeders, linear feeders, and industrial parts-feeding systems. Its mains-independent output frequency control (30–140 Hz) enables electronic optimization of feeder performance. That’s why reducing the need for time-consuming mechanical spring adjustments and allowing faster setup and commissioning. The sinusoidal output current further contributes to smoother, quieter feeder operation.
With independently adjustable amplitude, consistent feeding performance despite ±10% AC mains voltage fluctuations and a 6 A rated output, FEEDRkon offers reliable and repeatable operation. Its PLC-compatible external control, optional RS-485 communication, programmable start/stop functions, and built-in electrical protections make it a versatile solution for industrial automation and OEM applications.
