A vibratory feeder is a resonant system (spring-mass system). As a result, its factory set-up will rarely meet your on-
site requirements. Section 5 describes in detail how you can adapt the vibratory feeder to your specific requirements.
Our optional accessories include a range of bowls covering a wide field of applications. For special applications we of-
fer customized solutions.
The vibratory feeder is controlled by a low-loss electronic control unit. The choice of the control unit depends on the
power input of the feeder. The following table indicates which control units can be used for which type of vibratory
feeder:
ESG 1000
SCU 1000
/2000
ESG 2000 ESK 2000 ESK 2001 ESK 2002 ESR 2000 ESR 2500 ESR 2800

The controller has a 5-pin connector on its front panel for connection to the vibratory feeder.
Connector pin assignment is shown in the table 'Technical data' in chapter 1 of this operating instructions manual.
Notice
For comprehensive information on the full range of control devices please refer to the 'Control Units' operat-
ing instructions.
All control devices have two essential operating elements:
•
The
power switch
is used to energize and de-energize the vibratory feeder.
•
A
rotary knob
(or buttons) can be used to set the feed rate of the orienting device.
Frequency controllers:
For tuning of the vibratory feeders you may also use frequency controllers. For detailed de-
scription of the tuning procedure refer to the frequency controller operating instructions.
