Sensors: The optimal scanning system for every material

Sensors

BST web guiding sensors are suitable for use in almost any application. Our systems use optical, acoustic and camera-based sensor technology. BST web guiding sensors can be integrated into your guiding system without any problem at all. Connection to BST controllers is also easy, thanks to the “Plug & Play” system. The optical and acoustic sensors share the exact same dimensions, so you can swap between them easily.

Ultrasonic sensors

BST’s ultrasonic web edge sensors are characterized by their ability to perform unaffected by soiling or variations in material transparency. This makes them a popular choice in applications that require detection of high-transparency materials. They also compensate for interference from external sources of noise and other environmental influences.

US 2010

  • Prong width: 40 mm or 70 mm 
  • Measurement range: 12 mm
  • Resolution: 0.05 mm

US SEN 3xx

  • Prong width: 38 mm or 101 mm
  • Measurement range: Max. 467 mm
  • Resolution: 0.05 mm
  • Edge detections: Max. 2 web edges 

 

 

Optical sensors

BST’s optical web edge sensors use contactless, light-based technology to detect both transparent and non-transparent materials. Optical scanning is impervious to external light and other sources of interference. 

IR 2011

  • Prong width: 40 mm or 70 mm 
  • Measurement range: Max. 24 mm
  • Resolution: 0.05 mm

IR SEN 4xx

  • Prong width: 38 mm or 101 mm
  • Measurement range: Max. 284 mm
  • Resolution: 0.05 mm
  • Edge detections: Max. 2 web edges 

 

Camera-based sensors

The web is scanned by recording patterns or contrasts on the web. BST’s camera-based sensors offer a high degree of accuracy and precision, giving you perfect web guidance every time. If you need a sensor that detects lines and contrasts perfectly, the CLS PRO 600 is the right choice for you. Alternatively, if you’re looking to scan objects or printed images directly on the web, CLS CAM 100 is the best sensor for your application. Or perhaps you want to be flexible and scan up to 8 web edges and measure and evaluate web widths? If so, you should opt for the CCD CAM 100.

"No web guiding without reliable high-precision sensors for detecting the web edge or objects on the web. Whether acoustic, optical or camera-based - the BST sensors are highly accurate, insensitive to interference and safe. Thanks to plug-and-play connection technology, conversion or retrofitting is also very easy."
