Strip Position Control - Millmate Controller 400

The Millmate Controller 400 offers strip position control with a user-friendly interface, operable via the Millmate Operator Unit 410 or through external serial, digital, and analog inputs.

Overview

This strip position control system supports all edge sensor installations, and setup is simplified with step-by-step menus to determine strip edge, center position, and width.

  • Calculates true strip position and width in relation to the mill
  • Filter times from 10 ms
  • Easily configurable analog/digital inputs/outputs
  • Digital edge position level detectors
  • Digital min. and max. width level detectors
  • Unit selection (mm, inch)
  • Self-diagnostic test system including continuous edge sensor test
  • Simulation mode for easy check of system integration
