Detection of open splicing and splice overlaps

During the splicing, sheets of material are connected to one another. The OD1000 displacement measurement sensor checks the entire width of the sheets of material for correct splicing and therefore correct connection of the sheets of material. Since the sensor precisely measures the distance to the material, detection is performed independently of the contrast. The OD1000 therefore detects both open splicing and splice overlaps reliably. The function of the sensor for edge height jump generates a switching signal in the event of faulty splicing, omitting the need for additional evaluation in the control.
