N.C. IPC EL870 / Industrial-PC

The controller of the Linear Winder is a sturdy industrial CN-Control, with a RUFF developed Software.The winding programs will be created in winding steps. The controller can handle csv-files, so for example, very long programs can be written in Excel and load it in the machine.A network connection of the machine to a computer is also possible, for send and up load of winding programs.All RUFF Linear Winders have the same controller, this has the advantage: one operator can handle all machine sizes from small bench top model up to heavy duty floor winder. Further the machine has 5 free programmable out-/ inputs for external devices if needed for your application, these can be activated or deactivated in each sequence.
