Web guiding optical sensor TL.10

for integrationcompactwith analog output

Overview TL.10 is an ultra-compact optical sensor for web guiding, engineered to detect and track continuous or interrupted printed lines, contrasts and edges on moving materials. It integrates a color CMOS and advanced processing algorithms for stable detection, a 1.9″ color TFT (320 × 170 px) for real-time image display, and automatic calibration to simplify setup. Two different size values appear in documentation (60×40×30 mm in page copy; 31.3×68.2×40 mm in technical data) — the product is designed for installation where space is limited and fast commissioning is required.

Key features

• Accurate detection of printed lines, contrasts and material edges
• Viewing area: 10 mm (±5 mm; full reading area 10 mm)
• Ultra-compact dimensions reported: 60×40×30 mm (page) / 31.3×68.2×40 mm (technical data)
• Color CMOS sensor with dedicated processing algorithms
• Control frequency: 1 kHz for high-speed response
• 1.9″ color TFT display showing the acquired image in real time (320 × 170 px)
• Automatic calibration for brightness and detection parameter optimization
• High-power white LED illumination to detect very low contrasts
• Laser tracker to assist precise sensor positioning
• Reliable detection on reflective or transparent materials and under varying ambient light
• Selectable analog outputs and industrial communication for system integration

Applications and integration TL.10 is intended for optical web-guiding applications on printing, converting and web-handling equipment where precise tracking of printed references, contrasts or edges is required. Its compact footprint and integrated display enable direct visual checks on the machine. The sensor is designed to integrate with dedicated control units (e.g. MWG22, MWG10.1, SmartMotion with WLigo) and mechanical web-guiding devices (WG, WR, AT) to form a complete alignment system.
