Loop Controls



Ultrasonic
Non-Contact Loop Control

System is unaffected by surrounding noise, electrical fields
or shop oils and dust.

A free loop, even at high speeds, can be kept under precise control without erratic stop and start motions.

Special stock types and configurations can be processed without damage--regardless of coil coating finsihes, density or opacity. Widths can be as narrow as .01".

Precise Variable Speed Material Flow

This control automatically adjusts the operating speed of payout, straightening and rewind equipment to maintain a free material loop and to match material flow to a required line speed. There are no moving parts, no stock contact, no loop sensing arms, mechanical linkage or other loop control hardware. The control works with equal precision for both conductive and non-conductive materials.

Ultrasonic pulses locate the material position anywhere in the sensing range. Signals are then transmitted to an integral microprocessor which programs the speed of the payout or rewind equipment.
