Shut Height Monitor - The Series 2110 Shut Height Monitor gives you a highly accurate readout of shut height as you jog the shut height motor or manually adjust the shut height mechanism.  Once proper shut height is determined, the readout can be recorded for use the next time the die is used in the same press, significantly reducing setup time and the number of test parts.  Position accuracy of the 2110 is +/-.001".  The 2110 unit can be used with our Series 1986 Resolver Assembly, 1986MD Resolver with Mill Duty Housing, Series 951 Quik Stik II Linear Transducer, Series 953 VMax Linear Transducer,  and the 952 BlueOx Linear Transducer.

Interface Module - The Series 2120 PLC Interface Module is an accurate, absolute position sensing device for use with rugged, noise immune transducers in harsh environments.  It can be used as a simple indicator of position or as a PLC Interface Module generating digital signals, as well as serial and analog outputs to feed PLC’s.

The Series 2120 PLC  Interface Module improves on our popular Series 1994R and 1994L PLC  Interface modules.  In fact, the Series 2120 combines all the features of the Series 1994 into one unit with many added features our customers requested.  The Series 2110 and 2120 can be interfaced with a Series 951, Series 952, Series 955, and a Series 925. 

DeviceNet Resolver Interface Module - The 1990DN Resolver Interface Module plugs in as a node on any control system or a DeviceNet Scanner Card.  Continuous rotary position data is provided with 23-bit resolution.  In addition, eight built-in user programmable set-points allow direct control of critical functions.  All programming is done over the DeviceNet network. This product can be used with the Series 1986 Resolver.

Interface Card - The Series 1746L Transducer Interface Card incorporates Allen-Bradley licensed technology for complete compatibility with A-B Series 1746 I/O chassis.  The unit monitors machine position and delivers continuous absolute position data to the SLC processor in inches to 0.001” or in millimeters to 0.01 millimeters and velocity data. This high resolution is accomplished without the need for re-circulations for improved system response time. 

Resolver-based PLS,  Micro-set Programmable Limit Switch - The Series 1995A PLS was designed for use in rotary application.  It incorporates many features for safe, efficient operation.  The completely self-contained unit can operate up to 30 independent outputs (six standard) based on the rotary position of the resolver.  It offers an on-line "fault check" that provide an automatic, in process mechanism to verify that all major programmable limit switch functions are operating properly, The "fault check" output can be energized by activating the fault-check enable input.  The output is a mechanical relay that is energized during normal operation, having 1 N.O. and 1 N.C. contact. 

Micro-set Programmable Limit Switch with Brake Monitor - The Series 1995B Micro-Set PLS was designed for use in the mechanical press industry.   It incorporates many features for safe, efficient press automation.  This completely self-contained unit can turn up to 30 independent outputs on or off based on the rotary position of the press crank.  On-line brake monitoring checks the stopping time of the press against a customer-selected preset stopping time.  It can also be used to check the stopping distance at any point in the stroke.  A dedicated mechanical SPDT relay remains energized when stopping time is within tolerance.  Once exceeded, the mechanical relay de-energizes to initiate a stoppage or warning signal.

The Series 1995L Micro-Set PLS was designed for use in linear machine control applications.  It incorporates many features for safe, efficient machine automation.   This completely self-contained unit can turn up to 30 independent outputs on or off based on the position of a linear displacement transducer or feedback from other analog devices such as pressure transducers, potentiometers, etc.  It offers 0-10 VDC input with a built-in +/- 15 VDC power supply for feed to a linear displacement transducer.   Other input voltages are available for use with other devices. 

Quik-Set III Multi-turn PLS - The Quik-Set III is a fully integrated microcomputer-based Programmable Limit Switch with a convenient keypad for programming each independent output circuit to open or close at the desired settings.  The system allows precise position control of either rotary or linear motion through the keypad or by a remote programmable controller, computer or via any remote serial data link using RS-232 or RS-422. 

Quik-Set IV UHS Programmable Limit Switch -  The Series 1991 PLS is an ultra high-speed programmable limit switch designed to provide set point control in high-speed machine applications.  Its hardware driven logic circuits operate at a throughput time of 10 microseconds (.00001 seconds) on the first 16 output circuits.  This allows one count accuracy on systems with 3600 counts per revolution scale factor at speeds over 1600 RPM.  Speed compensation software allows independent rates of advance or retard on the leading and trailing edge of a programmed set point.  This allows full compensation for both the on and off response time of the machine function being manipulated for precise control of its location and duration within the machine cycle.  Operation programming can be done through its keypad or remotely via RS232 or RS485 from a PLC, PC or any computer device with two-way serial communications capability.

High Speed Programmable Limit Switch - The Series 2500 PLS is a high-speed resolver based Programmable Limit Switch that monitors rotary machine position and provides discrete limit switch outputs. These outputs are updated at a much faster rate than can be accomplished using any conventional PLC.  The 2500 PLS uses a unique easy to understand programming sequence. The traditional number buttons have been replaced with a rotary knob and the main controller has a 2 x 24 vacuum fluorescent display along with four push-button keys for programming.

Press-Set II - The Series 1992 Press-Set Automation Controller is designed as a modular system that allows you to select features and options to reach the level of automation your processes require.  The Series 1992 Press-Set includes a 16 channel programmable limit switch and 12 programmable and 3 static die protection inputs.  The programming features allow the unit it interfaces with feeders, tonnage monitor, lubricators and part transfer equipment.

UHS Programmable Limit Switch - The Series 7500 UHS is - along with our 1771-B1 - the fastest PLS in the market place with its 5 microsecond scan times. This speed, along with the optional ControlNet communication abilities, make the 7500 an ideal candidate for high speed converting, nonwovens, web and packaging applications or anywhere that sophisticated I/O control and registration is required.

UHS Programmable Limit Switch - The Series 1771 Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) is a resolver-based unit that incorporates Allen-Bradley technology and is completely compatible with the A-B Series 1771 I/O chassis.  The Gemco 1771-PLS Series cards are internally powered from the PLC backplane, eliminating the need for an external power supply.  The resolver input provides 14 bit (16,384 count) resolution and field programmable scale factor.
