Introduction
The MICRO 4000 NET Web Guide Control System is a microprocessor-based control system for
medium to large-sized web guides. It is compatible with AccuWeb’s dynamically compensated
ultrasonic and infrared edge detectors, digital line guide, remote stations, and all linear actuators.
A MICRO 4000 NET system can include up to seven main components:
1. Edge Detector or Line Guide Sensor
PointSource and WideArray Compensated Edge Detectors
• Ultra-compact housing
• Available with sensing areas ranging from 0.2” to 18.6” wide [5mm to 472mm]
• Available with gap widths ranging from 1.5” to 4” [38mm to 102mm]
• Fully compensated for temperature, humidity, dust, and most other process contaminants
• Immune to passline variation and web flutter
• Suitable for long cable length applications
• Intrinsically-safe models available for hazardous environments
• Ultrasonic models are ideal for transparent or opaque film, paper, and foil web materials
• Infrared (IR) models are ideal for non-wovens and other porous web materials
Hi-Temp Compensated Ultrasonic Edge Detector
• Withstands oven temperatures up to 500 deg F [260 deg C]
• Available with waveguide tube lengths up to 84” [213cm]
• Fully compensated for temperature, humidity, dust, and most other process contaminants
• Immune to passline variation and web flutter
• Suitable for long cable length applications
• Intrinsically-safe models available for hazardous environments
• Ideal for transparent or opaque film, paper, and foil web materials
AccuBeam 3 Digital Line Guide Sensor
• Ultra-compact housing
• Three light source colors and three illumination angles provide optimal lighting
• Line and edge guiding modes
• Pattern matching algorithm locks onto hard-to-see lines
• Auto-calibration automatically selects optimum settings
• Environmentally-sealed function switches and display
• Suitable for long cable length applications
