Eclipse uploads information directly from the shop floor. Every inch of material
run through each machine is recorded. This feature allows Eclipse to track run
vs. idle time and reasons for every delay.
Real Time Status
Eclipse monitors every machine on the network. This allows you to track orders
while in progress. This gives you the ability to see problems as they happen and
allows you to make faster decisions with less downtime.
System Compatibility
Eclipse integrates easily into your system under Windows 9x, Windows NT,
Windows 2000 or higher, and also links with your EPR/MRP system. Eclipse
links your production scheduling office to 30 or more XL200 Series
machine controllers.
• Displaying orders for specific machines or all machines
• Selecting sets of orders using filter criteria
Reports
The Base Module creates several reports for better records and vital
information. These reports include:
• Orders and cut-list
• Order summary list
• Schedule details
• Order Sequence
• Orders summary
• Schedule details
• Communications Log
the XL200 Series Controller's ability to program orders while the machine is
running. When the XL200 Series Controller is used with Eclipse Production
Management Software, orders can be scheduled and downloaded to the shop
floor, production monitored, and accurate time and material reports
generated. Expert installation and operator training are available. And the
control is made and serviced right here in America.
The XL200 Series Controller is capable of integrating with several labor
saving products:
• Bundle Ticket Printer
• Ink Jet Printing System
• Label Applicator Printer
• Bar Code Scanner
The XL200 Series Controller is an electronic length controller that is part of an
Open Loop control system. A wheel with a known circumference is attached to
a material encoder and rides on the material. As the material moves through the
machine, the wheel rotates and the encoder generates electric pulses
