Iptron Technology cc was born out of Numeritech (Pty) Ltd, a company started by Ian Plunkett in a business arrangement with a silent partner. The company planned to take advantage of previous experience in Industrial Metrologyand CNC Automation of Machine Tools. However, the company opted to manufacture their own Load Cells with the 6T4/120. A varient of this was approved as Intrinsically Safe along with EGT-2000I and supplied to many Coal Mines. In 1991 Numeritech was reformed in to Iptron Technology cc. Over the years ongoing development brought CAD PC Board layout -leading to the second generation EGT2420 system. Conveyor Tension Control became our specialisation. The need for improvements in higher integrity of measurement, lead to development of our unique Two-Wire Loop-Powered Load Cell - this was complemented with our LDM-121 Loop Measure Display Module which measures both the Load Cell input current and the supply current to effect a DC Earth Leakage with a very low threshold. Our reputation for producing reliable equipment has pulled us through the conveyor industry, With development and innovation ongoing, we have pioneered and continue to lead the field of Tension Control.
