1 INSTRUCTION
About these operating
instructions These operating instructions describe the installation,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of the SE-26B line
sensor and provide important instructions for proper use.
These operating instructions are intended for both the system
construction master as well as the operator who uses the
SE-26B sensor in production. The Operating Instructions must
be read and applied by everyone who is responsible for
installation, commissioning, operating or maintaining the
SE-26B sensor.
The Operating Instructions must be carefully kept and must
always be available throughout the service life of the SE-26B
sensor.
Translation of the original Operating Manual:
This Operating Manual is a translation. The original Operating
Manual was composed in German.
Proper use The SE-26B line sensor is intended for use on machines or
systems. It is used for no-contact measurements of the lateral
offset of a material web that is being guided. The SE-26B sensor
is suitable for
– center guiding on a thin printed line.
– edge guiding on a printed line.
– guiding on a material edge.
Guiding is also possible with dashed lines, discontinuous
pattern or discontinuous edges. The free spaces between the
lines or pattern must not be too large, since guiding is blocked
during that time.
The SE-26B works reliably with smooth, rough, dull or glossy
material surfaces. This sensor can also be used with low color
contrast between the background and printed line.
The SE-26B sensor must only be used in accordance with its
intended purpose and in a technically flawless conditions.

INSTRUCTION 1 - 2
SE-26Bwww.maxcess.eu MI 1085 1
Einführung.fm
Improper use – Operation outside of the technical specifications is not
permitted.
– Operation in areas where there is a danger of explosions is
prohibited.
– Outdoor operation is not permitted.
– The SE-26B sensor may not be used as a support, handle or
step.
– Any use other than the designated use is not permitted.
Operating principle The SE-26B line sensor works with white LED light.
The light emitter in the SE-26B sensor generates a light spot on
the surface of the material being scanned. Differences in
contrast in this area will be sensed by the receiver. The
difference in contrast could be produced for example by a
printed line. In this case the line is the reference for control.
The lens and cover can be screwed off and replaced to change
the scanning direction.
Note:
The explanation in the sections on commissioning and
operation also apply to sensors SE-26 and SE-26A.

Fine adjustment for focus
The fine adjustment of the distance between sensor and
material web must be made so that the light spot appears well
focused on the material web.
Changing the sensor
alignment ∙Unscrew the lens and cover
∙Replace the parts and screw them back in again
Note:
When screwing the parts in, make certain there is an
O-ring under each of them.

4 COMMISSIONING
WARNING:
Before commissioning, ensure that:
Commissioning of the sensor is performed while the web is
stopped.
No one is in the danger zone of the moving parts.
WARNING:
There is a risk of crushing and cutting injuries on the web
material itself and/or due to the motion of the web.
Do not grasp moving parts (rollers, web, etc.) or anything
close to them during commissioning.
Do not touch the edges of the material web.
Commissioning Once all assembly and connection tasks have been checked and
are in proper condition, the sensor system can be placed in
operation.
Preparation of the web guide
controller The web guide controller must be prepared for use with a line
sensor.
See the
Commissioning section in the section describing the
relevant web guide controller:


Sensor Calibration with Line Sensor SE-26 can
be found in the "CDP-01 Operating Manual."
Note:
When a complete system is delivered, the web guide controller
has already been mostly calibrated in the factory. The same is
not true for deliveries of individual parts or replacement parts,
however.

WARNING:
Danger of injury due to cutting on the edge of the material web
Do not place your hands on the edge of the (moving) material
web during operation.
Selecting suitable
references The operator must select a suitable reference (a line or an edge)
that can be found again unambiguously within the sensor field
of view on the material web.
Line The material web is guided to the center of a printed line.
– Line width between 1.3mm and 2.5mm
– Distance of at least 2.5mm on both sides of the line from
other edges or printing
– Thin lines very rich in contrast, even up to 0.25mm can be
used
– Lines can be continuous or broken

Edge The material web is guided to
– the edge of a material on a roller or support plate.
– the edge of a continuous printed sample.
– the edge of a line that is wider than 2.5mm and has a
continuous background.
Setting up references The reference is set up on the web guide controller to which the
setup menu is connected.
Preconditions – Position the sensor so that the desired reference is centered
in the sensor field of view.
– The reference must be set up while the material web is
stopped.
– The light spot of the line sensor must appear clearly and
unambiguously on the material web.
1 - No light spot, distance too small
2 - Light spot well focused, distance correct
3 - No light spot, distance too great
– There must be no plane change of the material web in the
area of the light spot.
Set-up Setting up the reference depends on the web guide controller in
use.
