Elscint digital frequency controller
The Elscint FQ1 DIG is a digital frequency controller which optimises the operation of a vibratory feeder by varying the frequency and the vibration amplitude, with or without an amplitude sensor
The possibility of adjusting the frequency allows for compensation of the slipping phenomenon which happens due to the variation of the system mechanical characteristics, attributable to different materials or temperatures, in order to obtain the best performance in every situation In addition to this, there is a built in relay for the vibrator ON status which is able to control an overfull sensor PNP and other PNP sensor with a 0-20 second delay

Range of vibratory bowl feeders
Elscint manufactures 5 different models of Vibratory Bowl Feeders, for applications in the cosmetic, electrical, mechanical, pharmaceutical, optical, bearing and many other industries
Feed, sort and grade components fast
The Elscint sorting and grading unit is designed to feed, sort and grade components having cylindrical and spherical geometry like balls, rollers, needle rollers, gems, at a rate in excess of 150 ppm
The versatility of the Elscint FQ1 DIG makes it very suitable in any application, where the dimensions and weights of the parts handled are subject to frequent changes.
The regulation circuits are galvanically insulated from the power source and hence the controller is able to deliver a tension of 200V at a maximum current of 6 or 10Amps (rms) and a ramp start up (soft start function) and is provided with a very user friendly menu.
The regulation system is based on a microprocessor and allows a wide linear control range.
The system can also operate with a SIND3 amplitude sensor for compensating the vibrator load changes (change in the number of components in the bowl feeder) or supply voltage.
The control menu is very easy to operate and even a layman can programme and operate this controller.
The frequency regulation is within a range of 5 Hz to 140 Hz (within a range of 0 to 1 Hz).
The Elscint FQ1 DIG comes in a very compact size of 200 mm x 240 mm x 100 mm.
This controller is extremely useful when there is a frequent change between genset and the electricity received from the utility.
For old vibrators, which are giving problems of speed, this controller can help them achieve higher speeds.
Plus as the controller can be programmed to work at the optimum frequency of the vibrator, it can be used for achieving very high speeds in case of special applications.
