CLS CAM 200
The CLS CAM 200 sensor is the logical further development of the proven CLS PRO 600. The matrix camera sensor controls with high precision and according to print lines, print edges or web edges. As with its predecessor, operation is as intuitive as possible. Thanks to a completely revised menu structure, the user guidance can be adapted to the respective application and thus streamlined. The sensor provides clear feedback on the measurement status and also works reliably with critical materials, e.g. reflective surfaces, thanks to the switchable bright and dark field illumination.
The new BST Commander SMART COM 100 enables simultaneous operation of sensor and control unit for the first time. Your advantage: Fewer user interfaces and limited variety of parts, and therefore all relevant information at a glance.
