SPEED & LENGTH MEASUREMENT
The SL-i4 measures products that are made in a continuous process, such as wire, cable, tube, pipe, paper, plastic, film, foil, gypsum board, textiles, roofing, sidings, wovens and non-wovens.
Non-contact, high accuracy measurement is ideal for drive control and for when length measurement is critical for product quality.
The SL-i4 connects easily to all standard control systems.
Precise, high-resolution measurement
No moving parts, increased reliability and MTBF
No slip, no wear, no marking of the product being measured
Full integration with PLC, or use standalone.
Industry 4.0 data communications
Pulse outputs that simulate and replace an encoder
Permanent calibration, minimal maintenance
