The position can be input in the method of your choice: standard or metric with fraction, decimal, feet, inches. It is available in multiple languages. The controller computes the input and displays the position in standard or metric.

TigerStop's 6 Basic Functions

1. GO—Enter any length on the keypad in inches, inches and fractions, decimal inches, even feet, or metric increments, and press START. TigerStop instantly moves to that position.

2. GO SET - Turn TigerStop’s number keys (1 to 99) into hot keys to access custom lengths that you cut frequently.

3. INCREMENT - Hit the INCREMENT key and enter a value (+ or -) to move the stop relative to the current position. Continue incremental movement by hitting START. The stop will move by the value you entered.

4. PUSH FEED - TigerStop can be used as a push feeding system. It allows for saw kerf, and deliver finished lengths on the outboard side of your saw or machine tool.

5. SET POINT - Use TigerStop as a set point stop system and enter up to 2000+ lengths into its powerful memory.

6. CALCULATE - With TigerStop’s built-in 10 key calculator, you can calculate a new length based on your last position or on a new value. After doing the calculation, TigerStop moves to the new position.

Can I automate my equipment with TigerStop?
TigerStop is far more sophisticated than the simple and approachable human interface would let on. Built into TigerStop is the ability to take over the function of your machine tool. TigerStop can control your machine tool, save programs, and do certain kinds of defect optimizations. TigerStop has many special programs that are designed to handle many common and not so common applications in the manufacturing processes.

Easy to use add-on software permits TigerStop to be programmed to control several tools in a linear application. For example, you are building custom ladders and you want to set up a machine for cutting to length, boring, and notching the rails on the ladder. This is a simple operation for TigerStop with an automatic cut-off saw, a cross notching router on a slide controlled by a pneumatic cylinder, and a pneumatic boring head. All three of these tools work in concert with and are controlled by TigerStop in this fashion: First, you place a piece of wood which moves to position so the saw can trim the piece. Then the piece moves to its next position and is crossed notched by the router. Then it moves to the drill, and all the holes for the rungs drilled. These operations are done all in a line using one TigerStop and a PC with our special Multi-Tool program. Simple, affordable, and easy to implement for semi-skilled plant engineers or business owners, TigerStop is the solution for simple, low cost automation.

How simple is it to install?
Almost anyone can easily install TigerStop. Just attach the unit to your machine and start using it! No special wiring or software knowledge is required. Plug it into a wall outlet and you're in business.

How easy is it to use a TigerStop?
Very easy! TigerStop is designed to be simple to use and adaptable to your company's needs. The keypad looks like a hand-held calculator and functions in an almost identical manner. To move to a position, you enter the target value and hit the Start key. That's it! An operator can be trained in minutes.

What can it do for me?
TigerStop will make your production quicker, more accurate, and you will be throwing fewer mistakes away. You'll be saving money every day.
 
What else can I do with a TigerStop?
TigerStop is the solution to many of the requirements of modern manufacturing. If you must build orders one at a time, do custom or flexible manufacturing, TigerStop can become an integral part of the solution. With its simple human interface it allows for simple changeovers from one process to the next. Custom shutters, custom cabinets, small and varied punch runs for sheet metal, boring patterns for railings, you name it, it can all be accomplished with TigerStop.

Is TigerStop worth the cost?
Well, we certainly are not going to tell you No! You will be very surprised at how affordable TigerStop is—as much as one fifth of what other systems cost while giving you far more elegant and complete production software. We can say with confidence that the addition of a TigerStop in most applications will double the production of the machine. In certain industry-specific applications operators are reporting a quadrupling of through put. You decide.
