Automated Rectifier Controllers

AU Series Rectifier Controllers, with solid state circuitry, provide the rapid cycling and quick, clean release necessary for high speed automated magnetic equipment. Ideal for robotics or “pick and place” applications. D.C. magnet control is accomplished by means of an A.C. input signal or pilot switch. The pilot switch or signal source can be a considerable distance from the rectifier without introducing a voltage drop in the magnet circuit. A SPST switch, limit switch, or PLC output can be used to operate the rectifier. When a manual switch is used, operator judgment is not required to “Time Out” the release cycle because the cycle is completely automatic. An adjustable, timed pulse of reverse current to the magnet effectively releases the load.
