Di-Soric – Ultrasonic Fork Sensors

Our USGT calibrated ultrasonic fork sensors can be used to control web edges of a wide variety of formats. They are ideally suited, for example, for analog position detection of web edges on transparent films and paper with different printings or colors. Even highly reflective surfaces cannot falsify the measurement signal.

In addition, the sensors are characterized by high repeatability. They are insensitive to dirt and have a robust metal housing in high protection class IP67.

Ultrasonic Fork Sensors

USGT Series

Precise Web Edge Control

Achieve high-precision web edge control with a wide linearized analog range and high repeatability. These calibrated sensors are ideal for precise analog positioning of web edges.

Versatile Material Handling

Reliably control a wide variety of materials, including transparent films, paper with different prints or colors, and even highly reflective surfaces that won’t falsify the signal.

Robust & Reliable

Engineered for harsh industrial environments, these sensors are insensitive to dirt, dust, and abrasion. The robust metallic housing ensures durability and a long service life.

Flexible Integration

Featuring analog outputs with either voltage or current signals for easy and flexible integration into your control system. A standard M12, 4-pin connector simplifies installation.

Key Applications in Industrial Automation

Film Tensioning Machines

Fully integrated into rotating frames, the USGT can detect even transparent films to precisely control web edges for consistent tension and alignment.

Carton Folding Machines

Delivers precise edge control in harsher environments where abrasion and dust cannot impair its function, ensuring perfect folds and assembly every time.

Printing Presses

Used to precisely align paper for printing. The USGT excels with its high linearity and repeatability, resulting in flawless print runs and reduced waste.

Tubular Bag Packaging

Unaffected by different materials, sizes, imprints, or embossing. The USGT showcases all its skills to ensure consistent and accurate packaging processes.

Unfailing Detection for Any Material

Reliable performance with transparent, printed, or reflective surfaces.

The USGT series is specifically designed for reliable web edge control across a diverse range of materials and formats. Its ultrasonic technology ensures that performance is not compromised by transparent films, paper with various colors and prints, or even highly reflective surfaces. This resilience, combined with high repeatability, guarantees precise and stable process control.

Transparent Materials: Controls the web edge of transparent materials with precision.	Reflective Surfaces: Measurement signal is not falsified by highly reflective surfaces.
Variable Prints: Operates flawlessly on paper with different printings or colors.	Dirt & Dust Resistant: Insensitive to impairment from dirt, abrasion, and dust.
