Eriez Vibratory Equipment Controls

The company’s line features three styles of controls:

  • UniCon, the standard “base model” control
  • UniCon HC (High Current) control
  • G Series controls

The UniCon series is designed to provide a precise amount of vibration for Eriez vibratory feeders as well as competitive electromagnetic feeders. These controls accommodate the vast majority of industry applications. Eriez’ full or half wave operation capability allows a plant to operate one control while competitive units provide half wave operation only. Eriez can modify or custom-design an electromagnetic feeder control to suit your specific application.

UniCon Controls

The single base model UniCon replaces many older style controls and offers more features. Its compact design and standard features address most customer applications. The unit is packaged in a NEMA12 (IP54) enclosure and carries CE, CUL and UL certification while the chassis enclosed model is CE certified. It can be configured for either 115V or 240V operation, full or half wave output operation and can be operated either from a manual potentiometer on the front of the control box or an internal 4-20mA or 0-10V DC signal.

Features:

  • Easy to use, economical, variable speed control
  • Rotary dial controls speed and feed rate
  • Chassis mount, NEMA 12 (IP54) enclosure standard
  • Operates on 115 or 240 volts
  • Rated from 2 to 15 amps at 115 volts and 1 to 15 amps at 240 volts
  • Includes bias and gain internal pots to set the operating (displacement) range of feeder. Sets span of the pot on lid
  • Accepts 4-20 MA or 0-10 VDC signals
  • Include interlock for remote on/off
  • Full wave and Half wave capable
  • NEMA 12 version: UL, CUL, and CE tagged; Chassis version: CE tagged

Recommended for:

  • Compact Electromagnetic Feeders / Conveyors (A Model, C Model, H Speed, HS Model)
  • Large Electromagnetic Feeders (B Model)
  • Bin Vibrators (115 and 230 Volt)

Unicon HC Controls (High Current)

The UniCon HC Control extends the range of the UniCon family to include controls that have the majority of features required built into a standard design. The UniCon HC has the ability to operate feeders with a voltage and amperage range that go beyond the original UniCon control with precision.

Features:

  • Additional features to UniCon model
  • Models available from 5 to 40 amps
  • 25 and 40 amp base models
  • 115, 230, 380, 460 and 575 volts
  • Accept 4-20 MA signal
  • Remote on/off capability
  • Bias and Gain pots
  • Auto/Manual selector switch
  • Chassis mount and NEMA 4 enclosures standard
  • Closed-Loop operation with accelerometer available to maintain try deflection
  • UL, CUL and CE tagged

Recommended for:

  • Compact Electromagnetic Feeders / Conveyors (A Model, C Model, HS Model)
  • Large Electromagnetic Feeders (B Model)

G-Series Control

Accepts up to 12 amps at full voltage. Controls are capable of auto sensing line voltage without on site programming and can operate at feeders frequencies of 30, 40, 50 or 60 Hz. The G-Series is equipped with soft-start adjustability which eliminates the feeder over-stroking during start up and shut down and prevents premature wear. For applications requiring rapid on/off cycling, settings can be altered for quicker cycle time.

Controls can be equipped with an accelerometer attached to the feeder. The accelerometer constantly reads the tray amplitude and communicates it to the control thereby preventing premature component wear.

Features:

  • Full range of customized feeder controls
  • 115 and 230 volts
  • Nema 12 (IP54) enclosure standard
  • Accept 4-20 MA signal
  • Remote on/off capability
  • Dual rate-of-feed available
  • Panel mount version
  • Closed-Loop operation with accelerometer available to maintain consistent tray deflection
  • Standard units are CE tagged
  • ESA evaluation and tagging for Canada available
  • Digital display
  • 12 amp maximum for NEMA 12 version and 15 amp maximum for NEMA 4x and panel mount

Recommended for:

  • Compact Electromagnetic Feeders / Conveyors (A Model, C Model, H Deflection, HS Speed, VMC Conveyor)
  • Large Electromagnetic Feeders (B Model)
