MA 45 ADV – Measuring Machine

The wire rope is pulled through the unit and measuring is done with the aid of a high-precision incremental encoder. A spring-loaded counterweight prevents slippage of the rope when passing the unit through robust in- and outguides. The encoder is connected to a PLC. The device can be programmed with final length and preselector contact allowing control of connected units, like uncoiling or coiling machines.

A typical application is a semi-automatic spooling and cutting unit. The MA 45 ADV will give a signal to the coiling unit, e.g. UL 800 P, when a pre-selected length is reached to slow down the coiling speed and to stop at the final length. The break of the uncoiling platform will then receive a signal to stop its movement. The MA 45 ADV with an advanced PLC and 7” touch screen additionally allows several in- and output signals and has a length calibration for even higher accuracy and length conversion to show mm, cm, m, inch, and feet.
