You have a precision label sensing application which requires the right tool. Instead of using a generic sensor that wasn’t design for the application, try Lion Precision’s LRD3120 which was developed specifically for tight space clear label sensing applications. It utilizes Lion Precision’s DuPont Award winning capacitive technology, which was the world’s first sensing design to solve the clear label registration problem in 1995. Its differential capacitive sensor configuration helps application achieve line speeds over 300 meters per minute, response times less than 20 uS, and great thermal stability. The decades of proven field use and breadth of materials encountered will give you the peace of mind knowing that you can simply set it and forget it. All with a highly responsive technical support team that ensures you are covered on your setup, material troubleshooting or production related questions.

If you are intending on having metallic content in your label materials or label artwork, including metallic inks or hot stamps, we recommend the LRD6300. It will handle the broadest line of applications and a majority of metallics.
