SubscribeAccuWeb's new WideArray™ edge detector automatically senses new web widths, eliminating the need for web guide adjustment during product changeovers.
New WideArray™ edge detectors from AccuWeb, Inc., automatically detect web edges passing anywhere through its 470 mm wide edge detection range.
When positioned on opposite sides of the web in a center guiding mode, the WideArray’s detection range is doubled – providing 940 mm of highly accurate, fully compensated detection. The wider detection range allows operators to change the guide point or web width on the fly, speeding make-ready time by eliminating manual adjustment or mechanical edge sensing devices.
The new detectors feature AccuWeb’s patented compensated array technology that automatically compensates for web flutter and pass-line variances, changes in temperature and humidity, as well as the effects of dust, dirt and other environmental factors.
This technology assures precision guiding while eliminating the need for continuous maintenance and manual recalibration. WideArray edge detectors are available in both ultrasonic and infrared models to fit every printing or web process application.
