Web guide system sensors

Precise control of the material web is a critical factor for quality and efficiency in many production processes. Our SU ultrasonic and SIR infrared edge sensors provide the ideal solution for this. By selecting the specialized technology for each application, we ensure that you achieve the highest guiding accuracy and reliability for every material type—from thick textiles and opaque papers to the finest transparent films. These sensors are the key to optimized web tension and minimized material waste in your production.

Superior technology for transparent and reflective materials

Particularly in demanding applications with transparent or highly reflective films, conventional sensors quickly reach their limits. Here, the SU ultrasonic sensor offers a superior solution. It operates independently of the transparency or reflectivity of the material, ensuring consistently high measurement accuracy even with thin or metallized films. The integrated temperature compensation ensures constant precision even under fluctuating operating conditions. Furthermore, the SU sensor is particularly user-friendly, as it requires no manual calibration and is therefore ready for immediate use.

  • Ideal for all transparent and highly reflective materials
  • High precision through integrated temperature compensation
  • Compact design for easy integration and installation
  • suSensori
  • wg705-su-hologram
Sensors for Web Guide Systems

Reliable edge guiding under demanding environmental conditions

When your production environment is exposed to dust, dirt, or vapors, the SIR infrared sensor is the more robust choice. Its technology is insensitive to these external influences and ensures reliable detection of the web edge of opaque materials such as paper, cardboard, textiles, or opaque plastic films. The SIR sensor simplifies operation through its automatic calibration function (Auto-Teach-In), which always ensures optimal performance. The robust aluminum housing provides optimal protection for the electronics and guarantees a long service life, even under intensive industrial use.

  • Functions reliably in dusty or dirty environments
  • Optimized for opaque materials such as paper and cardboard
  • Simplified commissioning through automatic calibration (Auto-Teach-In)
