The new dual display/counter can display speed and shift count simultaneously. Using the appropriate software, the values can be polled remotely for data logging.

SINGLE WHEEL OR DUAL PIVOTING WHEEL SYSTEM (NEW)

Our LARGE digit display / counters are viewable from long distances and can be used to display machine and conveyor speed.

Some of the functions include:

  • Touch screen easy setting of the required length and batch quantity
  • Automated repeated length control - set the length and the system will send a signal to the cutter or the glue applicator , and reset itself ready for the next cut or application
  • Batch count and control - the 2 line display will increment on every cut. Set the batch size, the system will provide an output when the batch size has been reached
  • Optional solid state relay outputs to signal the cutter, glue applicator or batch quantity
  • Manual cut control upon reset by a push button
  • Optional scaleable analogue output for drive control to slow and stop product movement during the cut cycle
  • Optional audible or alarm lights when lengths or batch size has been reached
  • Offset adjustment - if there is a delay in the cut, the system can accommodate for this on every cut resulting in more accurate cuts, less wastage and reduced requirement for trimming to length
  • Blanking input to stop the count if no product is present (e.g. pull conveyers on extrusion machines)
  • Production shift or total length count regardless of line speed or stoppage time
  • Optional simultaneous speed and shift count (NEW FEATURE)
  • Etc.

Other features:

  • Easy and versatile mounting of the encoder - our special spring bracket allows for above or below product mounting
  • Can be used with any existing electronic encoders or sensors, we can scale the display accordingly
  • Can be programmed in feet, inches, meters with programmable number of decimal points.
  • Easy to program by the touch screen which can be locked out for programming if required
  • Standard AC supply - no DC supplies required. Encoder power provided by the controller
  • Very accurate - our measuring wheels are ground to 0.05% accuracy
  • Scaleable and fine tunable to meet the most exacting requirements

Customers have the option to order a complete system comprising the control box, encoder, encoder cable, accurate measuring wheel, and a spring-loaded encoder bracket. Alternatively, individual components are available for purchase.
