Sentinel Splice (Joint) Detection Technology (photo) is designed to monitor 1 – 16 webs of material and will detect any splice or joint that may exist within the web-based process. It is applicable to manufacturing processes that require the culling out of splices or joints prior to shipment. Unaffected by printed surfaces, material color, grade changes and process speeds, the Sentinel is a self-calibrating system that is powered by 24 Vd.c. It provides an opto-isolated, digital electronic output with a pulse width selectable for 1, 10 or 100 ms. The Sentinel can be connected directly to PLC control devices or interfaced into existing marking systems or directly control devices. — Splice Detection Technologies, Syracuse, N.Y.
