  • Fife SE-44 Ultrasonic Sensor

    The sensor SE-44 uses ultrasonic sound to detect the web edge. Its light weight, small size, and insensitivity to ambient light make it ideal for most web guiding applications.
    The SE-44 ultrasonic sensor measures the lateral position of the guided material. The sensor field of view (proportional band) is 10 mm, allowing significant guide point adjustment.
    The SE-44 is often used in pairs for center guiding when web width variations are limited. The SE-44 sensor can be used to control most opaque materials as well as transparent ones.

    Fife offers a wide variety of sensor mountings and positioning assemblies for use with the SE-44 ultrasonic sensor. Depending on the application, standard or custom designed mounting brackets can be provided to ensure quick and easy installations.

    The SE-44 can be used with any of our applicable guiding systems or as a retrofit/upgrade for existing systems.

    The SE-44 can be connected to all available Fife web guide controllers.

  • Fife DAC-005 Camera Sensor

    The DAC-005 Diode Array Camera Sensor is the ideal solution for a wide range of difficult to sense materials from nonwovens to steel. The camera utilizes a total of 7,725 pixels and it can split the field of view into 31 sub-areas, creating virtual sensors. Each virtual sensor can detect one edge out of 255 total.

    The small housing, internal light source and different C-mount lenses allow an installation under tight field conditions. Backward compatible with older F-mount lenses as an option. Its digital sensing offers high resistance to contamination, dust particles, oil, vapors, and water.

    This sensor also has the ability to connect via Analog or Digital with fieldbus interfaces and runs in a variety of applications ranging from fixed sensor rewinding, center edge, and line guiding to web width measurement with an accuracy up to 0.02%. The DAC-005 is easily set up with D-MAX Operator Interface OI-N or Mini Operator Interface OI-S.

  • Fife SE-46C Digital Line Guide Sensor

    The SE-46C digital line sensor is capable of detecting lines, edges of lines and graphic patterns such as barcodes. It can also be used in low contrast conditions or with different patterns located close to each other, where traditional line sensors do not work. The SE-46C can also edge guide transparent films.

    The OI-TS control panel for the SE-46C line sensor features a color touch screen, allowing for the image of the web to be displayed in full color, making the sensor calibration easy and intuitive. It is sufficient for the operator to select the desired reference line and press the automatic calibration key.

    Thanks to the 30 mm wide field of view and the high resolution, the SE-46C sensor is suitable for the most demanding line guiding applications.

  • Fife DSE-17 Wide Band Infrared Sensor

    The DSE-17 is a digital wide proportional band infrared sensor. The sensor is most suitable for applications where opacity or density variations may occur, such as tissue, non-woven, textile, paper, foil, and for many opaque films. It can track up to 4 independent web edges simultaneously.

    When web width variations exist, the wide proportional band of the DSE-17 sensor eliminates the need for the manual repositioning of the sensor.

    Thanks to its IP-65 rating the DSE-17 can be installed even in the presence of water spray or condensation. The digital technique is immune to higher levels of contamination, compared with traditional analog sensors. The contamination of the sensor acrylic window can be monitored via a proportional analog output signal. An air sweep system is available as an option. In addition the DSE-17 sensor is protected against the influence of ambient light.

  • Fife SE-15 Visible Light Sensor

    Small, yet accurate, the SE-15 Visible Light Sensor is perfect for web applications where exact guiding is required and space is limited. With a control range of 10.2 mm (0.4 inch), this compact, lightweight sensor is best suited for edge guiding opaque, transparent, or reflective materials in most unwind and rewind applications.

    This medium-gap reflex sensor utilizes a reflector mounted on the opposite side of the web and a co-axis optical visible red light for transmitted and received light beams. The effective gap between reflector and sensor can range from 25 mm (1 inch) up to 1 meter (39 inches). The sensor light signal is processed to filter out ambient and reflected light to provide reliable and accurate performance.
