Press Release Summary:
Eliminating need for printed elements used solely for guiding, such as striker line, SE-46 Line Guide Sensor offers features that demonstrate ability to guide to existing 1D graphics on printed package. Requirements for printed elements are minimal, including minimum line width 0.02 in. and smallest detectable feature of 0.146 in. at 600 m/min. Clearance between printed elements is reduced to .008 in., and scan frequency and proportional band allow for accelerated press speeds.

Digital Sensor Increases Press Speeds, Reduces Operating Costs
SE-46 Line Guide Sensor eliminates the need for a striker line on printed material while improved reaction time increases press speeds.
Oklahoma City, OK. - Fife Corporation, the worldwide leader of web guiding systems, has just announced the release of their new SE-46 Line Guide Sensor with the ability to reduce printing requirements and increase press speeds.
The SE-46 eliminates the need for printed elements used solely for guiding. Advanced features demonstrate the ability to guide to existing one-dimensional graphics (i.e. bar codes) on a printed package. Requirements for printed elements are minimal, including a minimum line width 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) and 'smallest detectable feature' of 3.7 mm (0.146 inch) at 600 m/minute. Clearance between printed elements is reduced to 0.2 mm (.008 inch), further opening the possibilities. Higher scan frequency and a large proportional band allow for faster press speeds.
"Many of our customers have a need to reduce operating costs wherever possible, without compromising accuracy," said Ron Suenram, Product Manager for Fife. "This new sensor gives them the ability to guide to existing elements like a bar code and achieve higher press speeds."
Fife Corporation introduced web guiding technology to the industry in 1939. Today, along with MAGPOWR (tension control) and Tidland (slitting and winding), they are part of the Maxcess family of companies, representing technology leadership and innovation to converters, packaging facilities, paper mills, and all applications in between.
