Typical Applications
the pivot arm. A choice of polyurethane covered,
knurled or plain aluminium measuring wheels
is available.
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.
The optional stand (adjustable from 800 to 1215mm
in height) enables the machine to be moved from
one measuring station to another quickly and
effortlessly. The castors are fitted with quick release
brakes.

76mm (3.0in) diameter and
has a side-opening option
2600 MEASURING MACHINE
Length Measurement
This is a heavy duty machine which measures the
length of cable, wire, rope, hose, extrusions, or
continuous strip from 6mm (0.24in) to 76mm (3.0in)
diameter. Optionally this robust multi-purpose
measuring machine is available with one side
opening so avoiding the need to have access to the
ends of the cable to start and finish measuring.
■ Measures up to 76mm (3.0in) diameter
cable.
■ Heavy duty cast aluminium structure
with integral mounting flanges.
■ Totalising or predetermining counters
available or encoder to pulse electronic
counters.
■ Can be interfaced to a data processing
system.
■ Can be supplied with mobile adjustable
stand.
■ Additional counter or encoder can be
