These machines accurately measure the length of cable, wire, and rope. Materials are threaded and pulled through to perform measurements.

These machines measure the length of hard materials such as steel, plastic, timber, or wood. They consist of a mechanical counter, pivot arm assembly, and a large wheel that rests on the surface to be measured.

These machines utilize mechanical counters to measure the length of fabric, carpet, and textiles. Materials pass between a measuring roller and a spring-loaded pressure roller to activate measurement.
