Web Sensing

System

nnnn

Web inspecting

nnnn

applications

nnnn

This innovative sensing solu-

nnnn

tion is applicable to industries

nnnn

that convert plies of materials

nnnn

into embossed napkins, paper

nnnn

towels, plastic-lined paper table

nnnn

cloths, and other consumer

nnnn

products. The Model SS100 Web

nnnn

Sensing System uses

nnnn

MICROSONIC®, thru-beam sen-

nnnn

sors to eliminate the costly prob-

nnnn

lem of broken plies wrapping

nnnn

around, heating up, and damag-

nnnn

ing embossing rolls, as well as

nnnn

the resulting downtime required

nnnn

to make necessary repairs.

nnnn

They also eliminate false trips

nnnn

or no trips at all resulting from

nnnn

dusty environments, or prob-

nnnn

lems associated with sensors

nnnn

not immune to changing colors

nnnn

and materials.

nnnn

What does the SS100

nnnn

Web Sensing System do?

nnnn

Equipped with up to three

nnnn

pairs (transmitter and receiver)

nnnn

of MICROSONIC®, thru-beam

nnnn

sensors, the SS100 system

nnnn

monitors the entire width of the

nnnn

embossed web as it leaves the

nnnn

embossing rolls. Machine

nnnn

speeds in excess of 26 feet per

nnnn

second as well as dust, differ-

nnnn

ent colors and textures have no

nnnn

effect on the sensing capability

nnnn

of these sensors. During opera-

nnnn

tion, when one of the sensors

nnnn

detects a tear in the web, a

nnnn

missing ply or even a hole in the

nnnn

web of predetermined size, the

nnnn

SS100 system immediately out-

nnnn

puts an alarm signal. The signal

nnnn

can be used to alert an opera-

nnnn

tor, automatically shear the pa-

nnnn

per ahead of the embossing

nnnn

rolls, or automatically stop the

nnnn

machine. As a result, the em-

nnnn

bossing rolls are saved from

nnnn

severe damage and time-con-

nnnn

suming repairs. After the web is

nnnn

rethreaded, the embossing part

nnnn

of the operation can resume.

nnnn

Using the amount of sound

nnnn

energy transmitted through the

nnnn

plies of material to calibrate the

nnnn

system and detect the breaks,

nnnn

the SS100 system operates on

nnnn

a supply voltage of 85 to 270

nnnn

VAC (50/60 Hz).The supply cur-

nnnn

rent ranges from 10 to 40 (typi-

nnnn

cal) mA.Three push-buttons are

nnnn

provided to calibrate the detec-

nnnn

tor, set and reset the indications

nnnn

of a ply break, and view and

nnnn

sometimes change the various

nnnn

settings. A digital display pro-

nnnn

vides various information on

nnnn

each of the sensor pair chan-

nnnn

nels and a numeric display

nnnn

shows, sequentially, the signal

nnnn

strength

nnnn

• Eliminates damage to

nnnn

embossing rolls

nnnn

• Monitors the entire

nnnn

width of the embossed

nnnn

web as it leaves the

nnnn

embossing rolls

nnnn

• Alarm signal can alert

nnnn

operator, automatically

nnnn

shear the paper ahead

nnnn

of the embossing roll, or

nnnn

automatically stop the

nnnn

machine

nnnn

• Uses up to three pairs

nnnn

(transmitter/receiver) of

nnnn

MICROSONIC® ultra-
