In printing and finishing technology, transducers and sensors are crucial components for quality, speed and process reliability. Whether for high-speed printing machines, precision die-cutting systems or film finishing – the requirements for reliability, robustness and measuring accuracy are high. Ink, heat, dust, mechanical stress or electrostatic influences pose a particular challenge.

Ultrasonic sensors monitor web travel, double sheets and material tension. Transducers convert measured variables such as presence, distance or transmission into digital signals – for the precise control of systems in real time. This prevents waste, reduces downtime and ensures consistent quality, even with changing materials or complex processing steps.

Robust sensor solutions ensure that exact positions, web alignment and layer thicknesses are maintained, particularly in the finishing process – for example in coating, embossing or laminating systems. High-resolution measuring systems detect deviations at an early stage and enable targeted interventions. The components used are often in continuous operation – protected by encapsulated designs and adapted to harsh environments in industrial production halls.

Thanks to innovative ultrasonic transducers for modern sensor technology from SECO Sensor, manufacturers are able to automate production processes, save energy and ensure the repeatability of orders. At the same time, they open up the possibility of predictive maintenance – an increasingly important factor for productive capacity utilization and cost-effectiveness.

Transducers and sensors are the technological backbone of modern printing and printing technology. They combine precision with robustness and ensure that ideas are turned into flawless print products – even under demanding conditions.
