Timing devices for determining machine times

Nowadays it is very important to know all key figures of a machine before and during operation. One of the most decisive machine key figures is the cycle time. This machine cycle time can be determined with the help of encoders (light barriers) and the time interval of 2 signals. Time measuring devices can also be used to determine many other key figures.
Our measuring instruments for time determination are specially designed for the industrial sector as well as for the research and development sector. The measuring instruments are designed to be used in machines and in special constructions.

Applications of our timing devices with light barriers:

  • Determination of machine cycle times
  • Determination of length of stay
  • Measurement of repetition rates
  • Determination of the optimal machine utilization
  • Optimization of manufacturing processes

The arnotec GmbH portfolio includes mobile and stationary timing devices.

The ATT100 cycle time measuring device is a mobile measuring device for determining machine cycle times. The compact measuring device is a reliable and fast measuring device for time measurement between two or more pulses. All common sensor types can be connected to the ATT100 via an M12 connector. As a small free additional feature, the ATT100 has an integrated stopwatch.

The ATZ200 is a stationary measuring device for the rough everyday machine use and the research and development area. The compact measuring device with its significantly better resolution is the ideal measuring device for determining the time between sensor pulses. The measurement results can be read via a clearly visible display. As an additional feature, the ATZ200 has a communication interface for triggering a measurement on a PC and evaluating the measurement results obtained.
The ATZ200 is available from arnotec GmbH as a standard version with a resolution of 1 ms or as a high-end version with a resolution of 10 µs.
