Ultrasonic Label Sensor works with every label type.

UltraLRD eliminates need for sensor changeover. During operation, high-frequency signal is transmitted from bottom of sensor, through label web, and received in top of sensor. Amount of signal reaching receiver is dependent on amount of material through which it travels. With registration repeatability of 0.2 mm and switching frequency of 500 Hz, sensor accurately detects increased signal level...
