Abstract

See full text

A bin activator apparatus includes first and second motors, each motor having an eccentric weight coupled thereto. The activator apparatus also includes first and second phase angle sensors associated with the first and second motors for generating first and second position signals indicative of the positions of the eccentric weights, a controller responsive to the first and second position signals for measuring a real time phase angle between the eccentric weights, comparing the real time phase angle to a user-entered desired phase angle, and generating a phase angle error signal, and a frequency drive operably coupled to at least the first motor and responsive to the phase angle error signal for adjusting the speed of the first motor until the real phase angle is substantially equal to the desired phase angle.
