Product catalog summary
Overview: The bks+ ultrasonic web edge sensors are designed for contact-free scanning of web edges in materials like foils and paper. They are ideal for high-transparency and light-sensitive materials, offering precise web control.

Specifications:
  • Two housing designs with fork widths of 30 mm and 60 mm.
  • Measurement ranges of 12 mm and 40 mm.
  • Resolution between 0.003 mm to 0.01 mm.
  • Compact design with UL listing for safety standards.
  • Operating voltage: 20 - 30 V d.c. with reverse polarity protection.
  • Transducer frequencies: 170 kHz for bks+3 and 310 kHz for bks+6.
  • Operating temperature range: +5°C to +60°C.

Functional Principle: The sensor uses a fork design with a transducer and receiver. It emits sound pulses that are dampened by the material, which is then analyzed to determine the web edge position.

Outputs and Inputs:
  • Analogue output: 4-20 mA / 0-10 V, switchable between current and voltage.
  • Push-Pull switching output with pnp or npn technology.
  • Synchronization and teach-in inputs available.

Features:
  • Equipped with IO-Link interface and Smart Sensor Profile for enhanced device communication.
  • Three LEDs indicate web material position; can be turned off for light-sensitive materials.
  • Parameterization possible via LinkControl adapter LCA-2.

Accessories: Includes various M12 connectors and the LCA-2 adapter for parameterization.

Applications: Suitable for industries requiring precise web edge control, especially where materials have varying transparency or are sensitive to light.

bks+ ultrasonic web edge sensor-3

The bks+ ultrasonic web edge sensor is a fork sensor for scanning the edges of sound-impermeable materials such as foil or paper. This is why the bks+ is ideally suited for the web control of high-transparency foils, light-sensitive materials, materials with greatly varying transparency and paper subject to high paper dust loads. The working range for the bks+3/FIU/A is 12 mm and for the bks+6/FIU/A is 40 mm. The functional principle Both transducer and receiver are placed in a single, slim fork housing. The transducer in the lower leg is emits short, cyclical sound pulses. These are detected...
