Detection of the strip edge position

The CCD Pro line scan camera provides exact detection of strip edges and strip centre location. With integrated control unit and interchangeable lenses, it is extremely flexible in its application. Simple operation and maintenance are thus guaranteed.

The edge of back lit strip is detected by a CCD line scanner and transformed by the integral micro controller electronics into a digital signal which is proportional to the strip edge position. The measured edge position and the internal status values of the camera are fed to the downstream control electronics using a digital field bus connection. To change the measuring range, lenses with a focal distance of 28 and 50mm are used.

The camera is activated using the control panel. The various menu fields, the parameters and the curve of measured edge values are shown online on the graphic display.
