Millmate Controller 400 (PFCA401)

Millmate Controller 400 has been designed to offer a lot of functionalities and at the same time a high degree of user-friendliness.

Overview

MC 400 covers most mechanical arrangements. This means the user only has to follow the step by-step instructions in order to set up the controller and to have a correct strip tension calculated.

  • Predefined standard measurement modes
  • Prepared to calculate true strip tension from all mechanical  arrangements that can be found in your mill and processing line
  • Built-in load cell tables
  • Filter times from 5 up to 2000 ms
  • Easily configurable analog/digital inputs/ outputs
  • Feasible for tension and processing lines with interconnected multiple units
  • Level detector 
  • Unit selection (N, kN, MN, kp, t, lb, T)
  • Self-diagnostic test system including transducer test
