SECO ultrasonic transducers also for the film and textile industry
Transducers from SECO Sensor – just as reliable in film processing or in the textile industry as in print technology. Ultrasonic transducers deliver reliable results in a wide range of industrial environments. They work even with uneven or reflective surfaces, high speeds or harsh environmental conditions and help to make processes safer, more efficient and more resource-friendly. Discover the variety of our solutions for modern applications in automation and production.
In addition to print technology, our transducers are also used in film processing, the textile industry and money & newspaper printing.
Medical technology
In the sensitive field of medical technology, SECO transducers provide precise measurement data, e.g. for volume flow and flow velocity. Even the smallest changes can be recorded contactlessly and maintenance-free. This enables precise diagnostics and increases safety in patient care.
Robotics
In robotics, SECO transducers ensure efficient production and precise navigation. Ultrasonic transducers detect obstacles or target objects even with changing materials. The transducers adapt to the environment and enable smooth movements in complex industrial applications
Anemometry
In anemometers, two pairs of transducers are arranged at 90° to each other. They measure wind speed and wind direction quickly and precisely by means of exact differential measurement of the sound propagation times. SECO Sensor offers special solutions for harsh environmental conditions, extreme weather and cold.
Transducers in sensors for maximum precision in print technology
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.
