Functional principle
An ultrasonic transmitter in the lower
leg of the fork transmits a fast se-
quence of pulses through the backing
material. The sound pulses cause the
backing material to vibration, so that
a weakened sound wave is transmit-
ted from the opposite side. The recei-
ver in the upper leg of the fork recei-
ves and evaluates this sound wave.
The esf-1 sensor can be used as a label
sensor and/or a splice sensor.
The backing material transmits a diffe-
rent signal level than the backing ma-
terial with label or web material with
splice. The difference between the
backing material and backing with
label or the web material and splice
can be very subtle. To ensure reliable
detection, the esf-1 sensor must there-
fore initially learn the signal level for
the backing or web material.
With its three Teach-in methods, the
esf-1 sensor can be optimally adjusted
to any task configuration.
With QuickTeach, there is also a simp-
