In a packaging machine, the bks+6/FIU/A web edge sensor detects the material edge of various packaging films, papers or other sound-impermeable materials. The material is unwound from a roll and fed through the processing machine. The bks+6/FIU/A uses ultrasound to detect the position of the material edge, so that the control system can adjust the web path during production based on the analogue value. As a result, the material web always remains precisely on track, resulting in higher product quality and lower reject rates.
