Black Powder Coated STEEL track.

ADC will also be exhibiting at LDI in Las Vegas October 24th throught the 26th 2008. We wil be in Booth # 1726. See you there

ADC will be displaying again this year at the WFX (Worship Facilities Expo Booth # 1039) in Houston November 6th & 7th 2008. We have attended this show since it's inception and every year it continues to amaze us with its growth. We are looking forward to another great show this year!

Mid-Year Price List

New Prices effective July 1, 2008:

Due to increases in the cost of steel and aluminum, we have been forced to publish a mid-year price list with increased costs on some components. This is only the second time in our 89 history that we have had to publish a mid-year pricelist. We generally absorb small incremental increases in raw materials througout the year, however the magnitude of the increases this year prohibit us from doing this. The new pricelists can be found in the dealer section of this website. Simply log into the dealer section, links to the new pricelists are on the left side of the dealer homepage.

Catalog 51 a new version of our product catalog is now available. Call us if you did not get your copy.

Version 8.0 of our CD is now avaialble.This latest version includes our new catalog in full color PDF format. Of course it still contains all of our cut and paste specifications, CAD drawings in both .dwg and .pdf format and installation instructions for all of our tracks and machines.

LogiStop
What is a LogiStop?	A LogiStop control provides anywhere from 1 to 20 precise preset stops which can be programmed in 3 key strokes.
Can the LogiStop be used with someone else's machine?	The LogiStop was designed for use with ADC as well as other manufacturers' machines. The control will work with most machines that have a rotating output shaft that operates between 0 and 35 rpm.
What is included with the standard LS-1 control?	The standard LogiStop control is comprised of the LogiStop control board mounted inside of a NEMA 1 control box, and a limit/encoder assembly that includes a rotary encoder and 2 ultimate mechanical limit switches.
How do I make the LogiStop operate my machine?	The LogiStop is provided with 3 form C relay outputs, one for OPEN, one for CLOSED and one for a mechanical brake (if needed). These outputs get connected to your machine's control contactor, DC drive card, or frequency drive module. The LogiStop handles all of the positioning control and signals the output relays to open and close according to the needed function from the machine. Note that the relay outputs of the LogiStop are not designed to carry motor voltage or current and an intermediate device such as a contactor or drive card is needed to isolate the LogiStop board from the motor voltage and current.
How is the encoder assembly attached to my machine?	The encoder/limit assembly of the LogiStop device is provided with a right angle mounting bracket for attachment to the machine. The device is driven via a #25 chain sprocket provided on the input shaft of the assembly. The assembly must be driven by the slow speed shaft of the machine, normally the output shaft of the gear reducer. A #25 sprocket is mounted to the slow speed shaft and a continuous chain loop is connected between the encoder/limit assembly and this sprocket.
How far can the encoder/limit be located from the LogiStop board?	Standard LogiStop units use low voltage encoder signals and so the distance between the encoder and the LogiStop board is limited to 4 feet. If a greater distance is required an optional driver can be added to the encoder which increases this distance to about 200 feet.
Can I remove the keypads from the control box and mount them remotely?	No. The keypads plug into a low voltage input to LogiStop board and cannot be remotely located.
Will I lose my presets if power to the LogiStop is lost?	No. The LogiStop utilizes EEPROM so that any values programmed will not be lost if power is removed from the device.
