## Features

- Zero recalibration – sensor adapts automatically to any material (clear, opaque, metallic, nonwoven, mesh)
- High resolution – hardware resolution independent of sensing range
- Material-agnostic detection – fiber-optic technology based on light scattering and spatial filtering
- Temperature immune – unlike ultrasonic sensors, performance unaffected by temperature changes
- One sensor, multiple applications – edge guiding, width measurement, centerline detection, and more

## Benefits

- Stop losing hours to sensor recalibration when switching between materials
- Eliminate changeover delays – no manual sensor adjustments between product runs
- End quality escapes caused by undetected sensor drift between changeovers
- Remove safety risks from operators accessing sensors in awkward positions
- Prevent hidden scrap from temperature-related inaccuracies that plague ultrasonic sensors

## Applications

- Edge sensing, measurement and guiding
- Centerline web position sensing, measurement and guiding
- Web width measurement and monitoring
- Thread/ribbon inspection
- Flag detection
- Registration mark detection
- Defect detection

## Product Details

- **Web Widths:** Medium (12"-48"), Narrow (<12")
- **Line Speeds:** 1000+ fpm
- **Material Types:** Nonwoven, Porous/Perforated
- **Lead Time:** 2-3 Weeks
