The new high performance infrared sensor FR 5503
Description
Used for optical and mechanical scanning of web edges in the stenter
Infrared edge sensor based on the reflection principle
Reliable scanning of the web edge even on contrast-rich printed materials and poorly reflective colors
If web edges are uneven, mechanical scanning by swiveling in the scanning lever will calm the closed loop control responses
Measuring range: ±10 mm
