In 1994, a large paper facility in the southern U.S. was experiencing slow line speeds and paper quality issues from speed regulation problems. Avtron Industrial Automation replaced the mill’s foot mounted analog tachogenerators with Avtron M385 heavy mill duty encoders. The mill’s line speeds increased significantly and their paper quality issues from speed regulation problems were eliminated. The icing on the cake? The Avtron M385s are still running strong since 1994.
