Problem
A customer required press automation that included a mechanical cam limit switch and a resolver, encoder or tach generator input to a controller.
Solution
The Gemco
1980 Rotating Cam Limit Switch accurately and safely controls press circuits such as top-stop and anti-repeat. Many press operations are now being fitted with automation equipment that requires limit switch output. While most press control outputs remain unchanged from die to die, the automation outputs frequently require adjustment. The series
1980R cam/resolver package provides the safety and reliability of mechanical cams for press control circuits. Gemco also manufactures several
programmable limit switches and bus cards for use with the resolver.
