The new XUV Ultrasonic Label Sensor by Schneider Electric, with thru-beam technology, detects labels of any material, size and color including transparent labels. The thru-beam technology sends sound through an object to determine the depth of the object by how much sound is returned. Less sound indicates a thicker object while more sound indicates a thinner object.
When the sensor is powered down and turned back on it retains the previous settings and the threshold is easily adjusted by using the +/- keys. The XVU Ultrasonic sensor can also be locked to avoid unnecessary adjustments.
The XUV Ultrasonic Label Sensor is suitable for various detection applications including; label, ply, double-sheet, splice, and wrinkle/seam detection and can detect labels between 0.03 mm (0.001″) and 0.08 mm (0.003″) in thicknesses
The XUV Ultrasonic Label Sensor is ideal for the following applications:
- Packaging labels Food and beverage
- Pharmaceutical
- Material Handling Double sheet detection
- Seam/wrinkle detection
- Web breakage applications
