Perfomaster
This method can detect perforations in any non conductive material, even perforations in transparent materials or in multiple layers can be detected at high speeds up to 25 times per second.
SIMCO (Nederland) B.V. launches a small, but powerful, new concept for perforation detection.
High voltage spark over is used for detecting perforations in moving web material. This method can detect perforations in any non conductive material, even perforations in transparent materials or in multiple layers can be detected at high speeds up to 25 times per second.Each time a spark over is detected it is evaluated and is converted into a usable switching signal.
The signal can be used by the machine controls to count the quantity of perforations. For example on machines that produce bags on roll this is a reliable way of counting the number of bags to put on a roll.
Simco's Perfomaster is a miniaturised design that incorporates all electronics and high voltage parts in one housing.
The supply voltage is 24 V DC. No high voltage wires are needed.
The electrode head and individual high voltage emitters are replaceable.
