WideArray™ dynamically compensated edge detectors

WideArray™ edge detectors combine advanced sensing technology with AccuWeb's patented dynamic compensation system to provide reliable web edge detection in even the most demanding production environments. 

Unlike conventional sensors, WideArray continuously adjusts for environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, dust, web flutter, passline variations, and process contaminants, ensuring accurate web positioning and consistent guiding performance.

• Patented dynamic compensation: maintain accurate edge detection despite changing production conditions. 
• Built for demanding applications: engineered for long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.
• Detect any web material: WideArray edge detectors provide accurate edge detection for paper, film, foil, nonwovens, mesh and metal processing applications.
• Maintenance-free operation: automated edge detection that helps reduce downtime and simplify operations.
• Wide detection range: accommodates variations in web width, eliminates frequent sensor repositioning & enables precise digital guide point adjustments. 
• Advanced application support: designed for demanding web handling and process control applications.

WideArray™ web guiding sensors are available in multiple detection range sizes and configurations to support a wide variety of web widths and applications.
