2. Edge Detection for Material Web Guiding Systems

Deployed in a thru-beam configuration, the LS-H101 can precisely monitor the edge of continuous material webs (e.g., paper, film, fabric) to facilitate accurate web guiding. Its 1-meter sensing range and fine ø5mm laser spot enable stable and responsive edge tracking.

Problem Solved

Maintains consistent material alignment during winding, unwinding, or printing operations, significantly reducing material waste and improving product quality due to misalignment issues.
