UniFeeder
Unified control of flexible feeder · hopper · lighting
A single feeder control PCB unifies the flexible feeder, UniHopper, and top/bottom lighting. Save and recall per-product recipes from AimFactoryCore.
4-axis linear vibration technology combines gather/spread and up/down/left/right transport plus part flipping in software, creating feeding conditions tuned for vision picking.
Integrated Control
Unified control architecture
One control PCB inside the feeder ties vibration, lighting, and hopper together. It connects to AimFactoryCore over Ethernet (TCP/IP) for recipe-level control.

Feeder Motion
Feeder vibration control
Four-motor linear vibration adjusts part density and feed direction. Gather/spread and up/down/left/right vibration are combined in software.
- — Gather / spread — part density
- — Up/down/left/right — directional vibration
- — Forward · flip — motion combinations
- — Hz · Duty · Time — saved to recipe
UniHopper
Hopper control
Choose a UniHopper from the same generation (2.0 / 3.0 / 5.0) as the feeder. Vibration, frequency, and time are set in AimFactoryCore and saved together in the recipe.
- — Vibration intensity · frequency (Hz)
- — Feed time (Time)
- — Linked to the feeder recipe
Vision Lighting
Top & bottom lighting
Adjust top lighting and bottom backlight brightness separately, and combine lighting to create optimal conditions for vision picking.
- — Top lighting brightness
- — Bottom (backlight) brightness
- — Lighting combination → saved to recipe

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between UniFeeder and a regular feeder?
- Hopper and top/bottom lighting are controlled together through the feeder control PCB and AimFactoryCore. Compared to setups that handle only feeder motion, product changeover and setup become simpler.
- Does UniHopper have to match the same number (2.0/3.0/5.0)?
- We recommend a generation combination matched to part size and feed volume. 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0 are designed as families with matching feeder platforms and hopper capacities.
- How do I check which parts are feasible?
- We verify feeding and vision conditions with a part sample test. You can request a demo/deployment consultation via the Flexible Feeding solution page or the contact form.
