2630 MEASURING MACHINE
Length Measurement
This robust machine measures the length of wire
and other materials up to 15mm (0.59in) diameter.
The 250mm circumference, precision ground
measuring wheel runs in self lubricating bearings.
■ Continuous operation at up to 25
metres/sec (82 ft/sec) or 50 counts
per second.
■ Self lubricating bearings on both
rollers.
■ Heavy duty cast aluminium structure.
■ Hardened steel inlet and outlet guides.
■ Polyurethane covered measuring
wheel fitted as standard.
■ Can be interfaced to a data processing
system.
■ Totalising or predetermining counters
available or encoder to pulse electronic
counters.
■ Additional counter or encoder can be
fitted to keep a total while the main
counter is reset.
The machine is equipped with two adjustable
tension springs, mounted externally, which can be
unhooked from their anchor. This allows the
measuring head to be pivoted up to a backstop to
facilitate threading the cable through the machine.

When in position, these springs grip the cable
between the measuring roller and the bottom roller.
They should be adjusted for the minimum tension
required to prevent slippage.
Any of the standard duty 3000 series mechanical
revolution counters or shaft encoders described in
section 1 of this catalogue can be fitted to this
machine (listed specifically in the specification). If a
shaft encoder is fitted, the output can be directed to
any type of counter with an electronic input.
