Electrostatics in production: Problems and solutions for determining the position of a material

The challenge:

Perforations in a material web can be used to determine the material's position within the machine. These perforations can be tear-off perforations in bags or intentional perforations designed to define a position. Perforation detection using high voltage is independent of the material surface and can even be used with transparent materials. When a perforation passes between the high-voltage electrode and a ground electrode, a spark is generated. This spark is detected, and a pulse signal is then sent to the machine control system.

Note: Drawings and images do not depict the application exactly, but rather illustrate the situation and approximate reality.

The solution

With the help of electrostatic equipment, cleverly placed in your production, perforations can be created, for example, with a Perfomaster be skillfully controlled.

Note: Drawings and images do not depict the electrostatic application exactly, but rather sketch the process.
