A Common Customer Concern, Controlling the Actuator when the Web Breaks
In this video, we address a common customer concern about actuators in the event of a web break, focusing on the safety features of the SCU6x Controller. We cover how the actuator will not drive to a mechanical limit due to electronic limits, preventing burnout. Additionally, we discuss the advanced digital system of our stepper motor-based actuators, which includes electronic stroke limits, limit switch options using NPN proximity sensors, and the lock on lost edge feature. These features enhance safety and longevity of the actuators, ensuring reliable performance.
