Services
170 Series
Our 170 Series system offers modular press automation with touch-screen operation for power presses. This solution provides comprehensive load monitoring, tool protection, and programmable cam controls. Designed and manufactured in the UK, it features automatic tool recognition and servo roll feed interface capabilities for enhanced production efficiency.
260 Series
The 260 Series provides multi-process monitoring for assembly machines. Capable of tracking eight independent test processes simultaneously, it offers statistical analysis and quality control features. This system integrates with existing machinery to ensure precise measurement of force and position parameters across various manufacturing applications.
DLM Series
Compact DLM Series load monitors protect power presses with real-time overload detection. Featuring LED displays and hard-hit counters, these systems prevent tool damage through dynamic force measurement. Designed for ease of use with adjustable load limits and key access security features.
MARS System
MARS Production Recording System captures real-time machine data for OEE analysis. This networked solution tracks production metrics, downtime reasons, and quality statistics. Web-based reporting enables manufacturers to optimise efficiency through detailed performance analytics and job scheduling capabilities.
Calibration Services
We provide comprehensive calibration and maintenance for monitoring systems. Our services include on-site breakdown support, equipment testing, and scheduled maintenance programmes. Certified technicians ensure measurement accuracy and system reliability across all industrial applications.
