IR SEN 4xx – Infrared precision for variable web widths

IR SEN 4xx

IR SEN 4xx series provides high-precision, contactless web edge seeking using advanced infrared technology. With its large proportional measuring ranges, it is ideal for applications with variable web widths without requiring mechanical adjustment. The sensors deliver accurate optical detection, excellent resistance to ambient light and dust, and easy integration into BST systems.

Description

BST IR SEN 4xx series ensures accurate and stable web edge seeking, even with significant variations in web width and material type. Using infrared light, it provides highly precise measurements.

Its large proportional measuring range allows operation without mechanical repositioning, even when web width fluctuates, saving setup time and improving process reliability.

IR SEN 4xx sensors are resistant to ambient light, dust, and vibration, making them ideal for demanding production environments. Integrated via BST CANbus, they guarantee fast communication and stable signals for precise web guiding performance.

What are your values?

Get to know our web guiding solutions

BST sensors detect the exact position of webs, ensuring stable and efficient web guiding. Whether optical, ultrasonic, or infrared, the sensors reliably detect web edges, web center line, contrast, lines or objects regardless of material or speed. Their fast response and robust design provide the foundation for high process reliability and minimal waste.

BST sensor technology – The foundation for stable processes, precise web guiding, and outstanding product quality.

Our sensors enable you to detect web edges or objects with high precision acoustically, optically, or camera-based. They benefit from stable processes and easy integration. A special feature is the plug and play technology, which makes retrofitting and upgrading particularly easy.
