High-speed Registration Mark Sensing

Dec. 1, 2009
The R58A Series Registration Mark Sensors detect registration marks  in printing and material registration applications often found in the web printing, product packaging and pharmaceutical industries. 

It features simplified set-up via potentiometer adjustment of the switching threshold and switch-selectable light/dark operate. The sensor’s short warm-up period, fast 10kHz switching frequency and 15-microsecond repeatability are said to provide reliable detection in high-speed printing and web processing applications, where timing is critical. The sensor’s contrast sensitivity, coupled with its small 1.2x3.8mm sensing image, enables it to detect subtle registration marks on high-gloss and other challenging materials, as well as in low-contrast applications, says the vendor. Additionally, the rugged metal housing and high-quality acrylic lens are designed to handle ambient electrical noise and vibration from presses and die cutting machinery.
