From Datasensor, the latest TL micro series microprocessor-based print registration sensors offer the most reliable and innovative solutions for all detection applications of register marks and other neutral or coloured references (Plate 6).

Containing all the colours of the spectrum, the white LED emission TL micro easily replaces all applications where lamp and coloured LED-based sensors are utilised as it offers the possibility of operating on virtually any contrasts.

With the new series, set-up has been greatly simplified with the traditional multi-turn pots being replaced by two "teach-in" push buttons that can be immobilised, or "remotely" by cable with the possibility of rapidly memorising and recalling four different formats. In "auto-set" models, the setting can also be dynamic and completely automatic.

Installation is now even easier as all models are fitted with internal switches allowing the output to be changed from NPN to PNP and to enable the output pulse to be elongated to a minimum of 20ms for compatibility with existing installations. The circular white light spot eliminates the need to adjust sensor orientation.

Sealed to IP67, with a 20KHz response for high speed applications, the TL micro sets a new standard for registration sensors.
