PD1000 – Super Heavy Duty Stop
Capable of stopping up to 7 tons!
The Kentucky Gauge PD1000 can stop the heaviest loads that you can throw at it. The double Auto-brake, located directly on the moving carrier, consists of two pneumatic clamp cylinders for maximum braking force. With its pneumatic retract and gauge arm lift, the PD1000 is designed for high productivity steel applications. The massive gauge arm comes standard with integrated stroke stop system to slow down and stop the driven conveyor.

Key Features
5-Micron Linear Encoder – Non-Contact and Wear-Free
Our linear encoders boast a resolution of 0.005mm, allowing you to achieve unparalleled length accuracies. The non-contact nature of these encoders ensures high-accuracy measurements for a lifetime.
Unlike rotary encoders, there are no moving parts. All the mechanical components found in rotary encoders (flange, shaft, bearings, etc.) are not needed, which eliminates mechanical failures.
Rack and Pinion Drive – Rugged and Reliable
Unlike belt drive systems, our rack and pinion drive isn’t prone to wear or fatigue. Moreover, we’re not limited by the belt length. We can build the PD1000 to measure ANY LENGTH that you require.
Fully Programmable with I/O's for any Equipment or Tool
Our controllers are fully programmable to do exactly what you need them to do. The controllers are simple to program at the keypad without requiring specialized training. If you require nesting and optimization, programs can be optimized using Excel and downloaded to the controllers using our supplied software.
We also include a free-standing controller stand that allows you to place the controller where it’s most convenient for your operators.
Customized to Fit Your Needs
The PD1000 system is not your standard heavy duty stop system. These are built per the application requirements.
