A 925 Linear Cable Reel Sensor can easily be retrofitted to the accumulator/loop tower to monitor the movement of the roll carriage.
We have air-cooled resolver or Linear Displacement Transducer (LDT) systems to take control of your torch cut-off operation.
A 950MD Mill Duty Housing with a 952 BlueOx LDT was mounted along side the hydraulic cylinders that rotate and move the cover vertically.
In order to close the loop on torch cut-off heads, a position sensing device is required. The Gemco 953 LDT and 950MD with vortex air cooling is effective.
Reduced Down-Time. Special engineered replacement sensor operates 10 times longer than OEM supplied sensor package.
More Efficient Burns - Accurate EAF Electrode Positioning and Movement Maximizes Charge Bum and Eliminates Electrode Crash.
The 953 VMax LDT, with the protection of the 950MD Mill-Duty Housing, is ideally suited for these hot, wet, and high shock applications.
Gemco dual resolvers as well as geared single turn resolvers have been successfully applied in these applications. The resolvers are the preferred method due to the shock, temperature and lubrication seen near the mounting point.
Faster Automation - Side guide automation saves setup time and improves accuracy
Gemco’s 950MD Mill Duty Housing and 952 BlueOx LDT were used to monitor the turret lift and a 1986 resolver was used to monitor the turret rotation.
A rod style LDT in a 950MD Mill-Duty Housing is installed parallel to the hydraulic cylinder. The LDT monitors the position of each cylinder and reports it directly to the host controls.
