New Video Instructions for Popular Label Sensor

St. Paul, MN USA, February 11, 2009 The very popular LRD6110 label sensor from Lion Precision now offers video setup instructions. Unlike photo-eyes (optical sensors), the LRD6110 does not use changes in contrast for operation. The sensor works equally well with standard labels and clear-on-clear labels without the need for eye-marks. The setup procedure is slightly different than a photo-eye. To...
