Tidland Digital Measurement System
The Digital Display shows the position of the knifeholder in inches or in millimeters up to
three places behind the decimal.
There are three controls located on the reader head of the DMS: The digital display, the
brake release button, and the set stop shaft extension knob.
The reader head should be parked on the side of the system during slitting operation.
Positioning anvil rings using the DMS
1. At customer designated datum location push to reset the display to the reference
value (normally zero).
2. Press and hold the brake release button on the reader head and
move the reader head to the desired position. The digital display shows
the relative location of the reader head.
3. Release the brake release button. The brake engages, locking the
reader head in desired position.
4. Extend the set stop shaft with the set stop extension knob.
5. Move the anvil carriage so the anvil ring contacts the flat surface of the set stop shaft
tip.
Note: Move the reader head away from the anvil ring before retracting set stop shaft.
6. Retract the set stop shaft with the set stop shaft extension knob.
Repeat for each anvil ring.
