  • Fife SE-42 Infrared Light Sensor

    The SE-42 Sensor uses modulate infrared light. It’s light weight, small size and insensitivity to ambient light make it ideal for most web guiding applications

    The SE – 42 Infrared Sensor measures the lateral position of the guided material photoelectrically. The control range (proportional band) is 17 mm, allowing
    significant guide point adjustment. The SE – 42 is often used in pairs for center guiding when web width variations are limited. The SE – 42 sensor can be used
    to guide either opaque or transparent materials.

    Fife offers a wide variety of sensor mountings and
    positioning assemblies for use with the SE – 42 infrared sensor.
    Depending on the application, standard or custom designed mounting
    brackets can be provided to ensure quick and easy installations.

    The SE – 42 can be used with any of our applicable guiding systems or as a retrofit / upgrade for
    existing systems.

    The SE – 42 can be connected to all available Fife web guide controllers

  • Fife D-MAX Operator Interface

    The D-MAX system offers different Operator Interfaces to better fit the requirements of each application.

    Ideal for the most complex, networked applications, the D-MAX Network Operator Interface (OI-N) displays text, guiding nomenclature, and web guide graphics on a large Graphic LCD and offers the possibility to control up to 10 independent control loops out of a single operator interface.

    A lighter version, the basic Operator Interface (OI-B) is suitable for simpler applications and communicates directly to a D-MAX controller single or dual-drive configuration with the advantage of not requiring a separate 24V power supply line being powered over the Ethernet connection (POE).

    NETWORK OPERATOR INTERFACE (OI-N)
    • Ability to interface with multiple guide controllers
    • Configured with a 5-port Ethernet switch for guide networking and/or communication uplink to additional OI-N’ s
    • Industry standard network card for communication with machine PLCs and PCs with field protocols such as Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, ProfiBus and many others, for easy integration with the machine PLC or PC.
    • CompactCom port for communication with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)

  • 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-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.
