Even in the harshest
environments, no other edge detector gives you more accuracy and
reliability.
|
|
Dynamically compensated
edge detectors for single point web guide
accuracy ─
using ultrasonic or
infrared technology.
|
AccuWeb’s
Point Source
edge detectors utilize a unique two beam system that continuously
monitors the energy transmitted, while automatically compensating for
minute environmental changes to maintain consistent guide point. This
means improved web accuracy and reliability with less downtime.

Compatible with
Micro 1000®
and Micro 4000® NET controllers |
 |
•
Dynamically Compensated — Our exclusive technology automatically adjusts for all
environmental, process and web changes — temperature, relative humidity,
barometric pressure, dirt, dust, Oxi-Dry, nitrogen additions, web
flutter, or passline variations. |
|
Available in ultrasonic
and
infrared models |
 |
•
Any Web Material — AccuWeb’s compensated edge detectors are available in
ultrasonic and infrared technology to effectively guide all web
materials — paper, film, foil, nonwovens, mesh, metals — regardless of
opacity level or density. Select either ultrasonic or infrared models
depending on materials. |
|
High temperature,
compensated ultrasonic
model for ovens up
to 500°F (260°C) |
 |
• Hazardous
Duty Operation — Intrinsically safe models are available to operate
in Class I, Division 1 Group C&D hazardous environments.
• Special Applications — High temperature models available for ovens up to
500°F (260°C). Infrared models available for vacuum environments to 10-6
Torr |
|
Optional edge detector
mounting brackets are
designed for fast, accurate
micro adjustments |
 |
• Totally
Automated – No Maintenance — Our compensated edge detectors
self-calibrate automatically. No operator adjustments necessary –
resulting in faster make-ready. Other than an occasional wipe down, no
maintenance is required. |

You’ll always get more value from
AccuWeb
• Every AccuWeb edge detector has our exclusive
dynamic compensation technology.
• Hard-coat anodized aluminum or custom engineered polymer housings provide
extremely durable, yet light-weight edge detectors.
• Specially designed compensated ultrasonic versions are available for high
temperature applications up to 500ºF (260ºC).
• Stainless steel and waterproof options are available for wet or harsh
environments. |
The advantage of dynamic compensated technology
Two beams of pulsed energy are transmitted across the detector gap.
The amount of energy received by the Edge Detection Sensor is converted
to a digital web position signal.
The amount of energy received by the Compensation Sensors provides a
continuous reference signal to eliminate guide point drift due to
changes
in temperature, humidity, dust, dirt, ink
overspray, web flutter, passline variations or other environmental
factors.
As environmental conditions change, the Compensation, or Reference Beam,
monitors the conditions in real time and proportionally adjusts the web
detection beam to maintain the original guide point.
