The Precision Motion Drive System offers flexibility with regard to specialised linear movement of the drive nut. Stop/start, travel direction, linear pitch, travel speed, repetitive processes, ramp up/down and other variables pertaining to drive nut movement may be programmed into the system to meet application requirements. A single system may be set up to control multiple stations, making it unnecessary to invest in multiple systems in order to help sustain high production rates.

Beta LaserMike Booth: 1031

The Beta LaserMike products team from NDC Technologies will exhibit its complete, end-to-end measurement system solution – from the extruder to the puller – for the production of wire and cable. The line-up includes the latest products with modern styling and expanded capabilities in connectivity, communication and control consistent with Industry 4.0. Visitors will get a first-hand view of how these measurement and control solutions enable manufacturers to produce higher quality products, increase productivity and realise production savings. LaserSpeed ® Pro non-contact length and speed gauge offers high accuracy (better than ±0.03 per cent) and a wide measurement depth of field for the full velocity range. LaserSpeed Pro offers a fast processing engine for fast communications and supports Ethernet connectivity. It is a suitable replacement for contact encoders, with more than 8,000 gauges installed worldwide. AccuScan 6000 Series is a four-axis laser scanning and diameter gauge with high ovality and flaw-detection accuracy and fast scan rate. The LayScan gauging solution accurately and consistently measures the lay length of twisted pairs at the cabler and twinner.

S S The RG Drive

The shaft on which the Precision Motion Drive runs is smooth, case-hardened steel. There are no threads, which makes the system useful in applications where particulate contaminants could fall into threads, causing jams or clogs. The shaft rotates in one direction only. Drive nut travel direction, linear pitch and other motion parameters are controlled by the angle of the rolling ring bearings inside the drive unit. The angling and pivoting of the rolling rings are, in turn, controlled by user programming.
