Overview
Repeatable feed lengths and index positions

Programmable index and feed control for web, strip, film, and material handling applications — consistent feed lengths and index positions with simple operator control.

Feed and reverse moves are each set by delay, length, and speed, with reverse enabled or disabled as the application requires. The controller accepts an ASCII command set over USB / serial.

Available as a PC software application for Windows 10 / 11, or as a self-contained unit with an operator touch-screen interface — no PC required.
