At DC-Digital, we work closely with our clients to deliver timing solutions that fit exactly what their operation demands. Our latest custom project, the DC-25T-UP-TERM, was developed specifically for Ridged Paper Tube Corp., a manufacturing company that frequently changes production lines throughout the day. Their goal? To accurately monitor how long each product takes to complete a cycle—without showing a live timer counting up.

What Makes This Timer Unique?

The DC-25T-UP-TERM is a custom cycle time display that only shows elapsed time after a production cycle is completed. Instead of constantly ticking numbers, this timer remains blank until the machine finishes a cycle—then displays the exact number of seconds and tenths of a second it took to process the item. It’s a subtle but powerful change in functionality that eliminates distraction and sharpens focus on results.

Here’s how it works:

  • A sensor, switch, or contact closure is used to start the timer.
  • The part then continues into the machine, going through its normal production process.
  • Once the sensor is triggered again, the timer records the elapsed time between these two triggers.
  • That time is then displayed and held until the next cycle completes.

This approach provides an immediate, visual snapshot of how efficiently the line is operating — with no guesswork, and no need for external software.

Key Product Features:

  • Cycle-to-cycle elapsed time display – shows only the last completed cycle time.
  • 2.3-inch bright red LED digits – visible at a distance.
  • Time display in seconds and tenths of a second – precise and easy to read.
  • Terminal block inputs – allows for secure sensor or switch connection.
  • Durable aluminum enclosure – industrial-grade build with multiple wire entry points.
  • Includes 120V 6-foot power cord – plug-and-play ready.

The enclosure is designed for straightforward installation and features knockouts on both sides and the back, letting you run wiring as needed for your setup. It mounts easily to a four-square or handy box for quick deployment in fast-paced manufacturing environments.

This unit provides exactly what Ridged Paper Tube Corp. needed: no ongoing timer display, just the result. Now they can measure how long each production cycle takes with precision and minimal operator distraction.

If your production environment could benefit from a similar solution—or if you have a totally different idea—we’re ready to help. At DC-Digital, our specialty is tailoring timers and counters to your unique workflow, no matter how complex.
