PointSource compensated edge detectors

PointSource™ edge detectors are designed for applications requiring highly accurate web edge detection and reliable web position control. Unlike conventional edge sensors, PointSource continuously compensates for temperature, humidity, dust, web flutter, passline variations, and other environmental factors that can impact web guiding accuracy.

Available in ultrasonic and infrared configurations, these web guide sensors deliver dependable performance across a wide range of materials, including paper, film, foil, nonwovens, mesh, and metal processing applications.

• Accurate web edge detection: maintain precise web alignment with singe-point detection technology designed for demanding web guiding applications. 
• Automatic compensation for reliable web position control: patented dynamic compensation technology continuously adjusts sensor performance to maintain accurate web positioning.
• Sensors for film, paper, foil and nonwovens: PointSource web guide sensors are available in ultrasonic and infrared technologies to support virtually any web material.
