Heres a typical overview based on industry standards (note: specifics may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer):
Detects registration marks or color contrasts on packaging materials.
Ensures proper alignment and timing in cutting, labeling, or filling processes.
High contrast sensitivity Able to distinguish between slight differences in color or grayscale.
Fast response time Essential for high-speed production lines.
Adjustable sensitivity and threshold Manual or auto-teach functions to optimize detection accuracy.
LED or Laser light source Provides consistent, sharp detection.
Compact housing Fits into tight spaces in machinery.
Sensing distance: Typically a few millimeters (e.g., 1015 mm).
Light source: Red LED (commonly), sometimes green or blue for better color differentiation.
Response time: <50 microseconds in many models.
Output types: NPN/PNP transistor output, often with normally open/closed options.
Power supply: 1030 VDC.
Label positioning in labeling machines.
Cutting position control in packaging lines.
Print mark detection in printing machines.
Web guiding in roll-fed systems.
Banner Engineering Often uses the "R58" naming for high-performance registration mark sensors.
Other companies might use similar nomenclature but refer to slightly different models.
