Infrared sensors feature a modulated light source making them insensitive to ambient light. They are generally used for opaque webs, but some can be used for clear films when used with an amplifier.
Ultrasonic sensors can be used to guide clear films or opaque webs in both edge and center guiding applications, all have been designed to withstand electrostatic discharges.
Visible light sensors are used as an edge or center guide sensor on unwinds, rewinds, or any applications where multiple web widths are processed.

Infrared sensors feature a modulated light source making them insensitive to ambient light. They are generally used for opaque webs, but some can be used for clear films when used with an amplified signal. Specifically for woven materials, the First*Edge Sensor has the ability to ‘see’ materials regardless of variations in porosity.
