The new Linear Measuring Indicator (LMI) from HepcoMotion® is more than just a precise length measuring system. This easy-to-install, compact product can also be adapted for rotary applications where angular measurement is required.  Highly versatile and therefore economical, LMI offers repeatable, precise measurement to improve productivity and reduce rejects in many industrial applications.

 

It’s an ideal addition to an automatic saw, for example, to provide an accurate cut to length facility for metal, wood, stone, plastic, paper or glass. In this regard the LMI’s incremental mode is a boon for cutting uniform short lengths from a single billet or for creating partial cuts at regular intervals along its length.

 

When teamed with the HepcoMotion® GV3 or stainless steel, SL2 linear systems to guide the sensor head in parallel to the coded magnetic tape, LMI becomes a complete guided positioning and measurement solution that requires minimal set-up. The HepcoMotion® carriage locking system provides the stability for consistent and precise length control.

No wiring is involved in the installation of LMI as it is battery operated. It can be supplied for the customer to incorporate into an existing machine or supplied by HepcoMotion® as a sub-assembly comprising tape, sensor and position indicator (bracket or panel mounted) fitted to a GV3/SL2 slide beam.

Precision Saw Backstop - Machine saws can be simply retro fitted with an LMI unit to provide an accuratecut to length facility.

 

Laser Positioning -

A laser pointer is attached to the carriage, and projects a point of light which the operator positions on the edge of the rolls of paper.
