Positioning Unit

The controller has connections for two positioning units. The positioning units enable the motorized positioning of sensors or tools. The main field of application of the positioning unit is the motorized positioning of a BST eltromatCLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3) across the web running direction in slitter-winders.

If the installation position of the sensor is hard to access or the position of the sensor has to be changed frequently due to changing web widths, the motorized positioning unit is used to position the sensor across the web running direction. The sensor slide of the positioning unit is moved to the desired position using the arrow keys of the ekr commander control panel of the controller. There are two speed levels to choose from for the rough and fine positioning of the sensor.

For a detailed description of the positioning unit, see chapter Positioning Unit.
