Drives and Drive Systems are a vital part of any process requiring the control of motors... one or many. Avtron's ADDvantage-32^TM Digital Drive provides new and retrofit (new Digital electronics firing the existing SCR's or new electronics for a Motor Generator Set) control in applications throughout the world. The ADD-32^TM can be found in the pulp and paper, rubber, steel/metals, and plastic industries as well as Mining and Marine operations. Anywhere a motor is running and its operation has to be controlled and monitored precisely, a Digital Drive like the ADD-32 is required. 

A Digital ADD-32 Drive can be used on an isolated motor or as part of a system, managing an entire mill operation. Avtron is a state-of-the-art U.S.A. manufacturer of advanced digital drives and drive systems. We can supply a full range of drive products and services including: 

• Digital DC Drives  
• Digital AC Flux Vector Drives  
• Rebuilds/retrofits of older analog drives 
• Programmable logic controllers, drive interface software  
• Operator stations, motors, and power distribution equipment  
• Tachometers, Encoders, Rotary Pulse Generators  
• System engineering capability including turnkey installations 
• Field or customer service and training

Avtron - Speed and Length Measurement

Joliet Technologies is the preferred Avtron Integrator for the Chicagoland area.

Speed and Length Measurement 

• Speed Draw Instrumentation
• Performance View
• Stand Alone Meters

Avtron Digital Speed, Draw, and Length measuring systems are microprocessor-based instruments, programmable in actual process units. A wide range of frequency inputs can be accepted and when calibrated with engineering units such as feet per minute, meters per minute, or yards per minute, the appropriate value is clearly displayed on the digital readout. 

Frequency ranges from 1 Hz to 10 - 20 KHz (depending upon instrument), typically yield accuracies of 0.01%. The Avtron M185 Unipulser can be used where a tach/encoder/pulse generator is not easily-mountable. RS422 serial output is a standard feature for communicating with computers or other mill devices. RS232 serial output is possible for communicating to printers with readily available optional hardware, part number 347653 from Avtron.  

Multiple remote display options exist for Avtron Speed/Draw systems, as well as NEMA enclosures and RS232 serial communications capability.

There are many applications for rotary pulse generators (also known as incremental encoders, tachs, tachometers) throughout industry. Avtron manufactures a wide range of electrical and mechanical configurations to satisfy the installation requirements of your application. These units typically mount to the non-drive end of AC and DC motors for speed feedback applications and in some cases directly to roll shafts for instrumentation. 

Applications: 

Avtron produces "Mill-Duty", "Heavy, Mill-Duty" and "Severe Duty" encoders to handle rugged environments encountered in the following industries: 

• Pulp and Paper 
• Metals  
• Rubber 
• Plastic Film 
• Material Handling  
• Mining 
• Fiberglas 
• Roofing 
• Converting 
• Test Equipment 
• Textiles 
• Non-Wovens 
• Cement Kilns
