Allen Bradley PLC Controller

General Overview:

Allen Bradley Universal Controllers can be used with our entire line of index drives. All controllers are programmed by Motion Index Drives for each customer-specific indexing application to ensure worry-free operation for many years. Purchasing a Turntable Frequency Control that is preprogrammed and wired per your specific application by a Motion Index Drives technician with any fixed cam-driven index device ensures years of simple operation and simple startup.
