web edge sensor

In this episode of our webinar series on web guiding fundamentals, we dive into the critical role of sensors in web guiding systems. Learn about various sensor terminologies such as range, resolution, accuracy, and linearity, and understand the importance of accurate measurement for effective control. We discuss different sensor technologies including infrared, optical, and ultrasonic, and explore the challenges they face including issues with temperature drift and material properties. Discover why precise sensing is essential for guiding performance in web handling applications.

Optimizing Sensor Placement and Roller Position in Displacement Guides

This episode is part of the ‘Web Guiding Applications and Advanced Web Guiding Concepts’ series and focuses on advanced edge guiding techniques, specifically single edge web guiding. The video explains the use of web guides and edge sensors for feedback in guiding mechanisms. It covers the positioning of sensors, the importance of alignment, and the common practice of repositioning sensors during web width changes. The episode also addresses potential operator errors and their impact on web guiding performance during product changeovers.
