GPE - Model 21512 - Pneumatic Miniature Type Sensor
From Strip Guiding
The Model 21512 Pneumatic Sensor is a fixed gap nozzle, designed primarily for use with non-polarizing films such as polyethylene. This sensor detects the edge position pneumatically and transmits this information to a pneumatic-hydraulic controller.

The unique and new sensor design incorporates a sturdy, but light weight, plastic construction material streamlined to prevent snagging of the web on sharp edges.
This non-contact sensor directs a stream of very low pressure air across the edge of the web as illustrated below. The recovery pressure is proportional to the web position.
A small air bleed through the purge orifice (patented) puts a positive pressure at both sensing orifices and prevents foreign material from entering the sensor and clogging the orifices. This preventative measure does not affect the control at the recovery orifice.
The proportional pressure signal is generally transmitted to a diaphragm on a hydraulic controller. The very low pressure at which this sensor operates will not offset even the lightest film, and requires only a pressure reducing valve to operate from normal plant air supply.
Features
- Non-Clogging Design: Sensor is supplied with an integral air purge (patented) which eliminates any possibility of clogging in applications where lint or dust are encountered
- Minimum Edge Deflection: Ultra•low recovery pressure as low as ¼ in. w.c. Ideal for operation on light films such as ¼ mil polyethylene
- Rugged: Constructed of sturdy molded plastic. Not affected by vibration
- Multiple Position Adjustment: Fixed mounting for no adjustments. Universal mountings for fine linear adjustment by handwheel and lateral adjustment. Screw type
