Whether wooden boards, panes of glass, sheets of paper or coloured plastic panels, ultrasonic sensors are ideal for measuring the height of stacks with millimetre precision.
Further application: Stack centering
In addition to stack height measurement, the zws ultrasonic sensors can also be used for stack centering in the infeed of printing presses. The sensor precisely and non-contact detects the lateral position of the paper stack—regardless of surface texture or color—ensuring optimal alignment for smooth and error-free operation.
The right sensor family for your application
Depending on the measuring range and housing design, there are three sensor families to choose from:
- mic+ with M30 threaded sleeve: measuring range from 30 mm to 8 m for large stacks,
- pico+ with M18 metal sleeve: measuring range from 20 mm to 1.3 m for small stacks,
- zws in a miniature cubic housing: measuring range from 20 mm to 1 m for small stacks.
