IR EDGE SENSOR WITH SCANNING LEVER FR-5503
The IR EDGE SENSOR WITH SCANNING LEVER FR-5503 is a component used in Bruckner stenters for web edge detection and control. This is the specific model number of the sensor Erhardt+Leimer (E+L) is a the FR 55 series is an infrared edge sensor with an optional scanning lever.
About this sensor:
- IR (Infrared) Technology: It utilizes infrared light to detect the edge of the fabric.
- Edge Sensor: Its primary function is to precisely locate the lateral position of the fabric edge as it moves through the stenter.
- Scanning Lever: The inclusion of a “scanning lever” suggests a mechanical component that interacts with the fabric edge.
- For Bruckner Stenter: This indicates that the sensor is designed or commonly used in Bruckner stenter machines. Stenters are used in textile finishing to dry and heat-set fabrics, and accurate web guiding is essential for consistent processing.
Here are some potential characteristics:
- Operating Principle: Reflection-based infrared sensing.
- Reliable Detection: Even on contrast-rich printed materials and poorly reflective colors.
- Measuring Range: Typically around ±10 mm.
- Scanning Frequency: Around 100 Hz.
- Power Supply: 24 V DC.
- Protection Class: Up to IP65 with a suitable connector.
