Skew, tilt or slight rotation of sheets as they go through the coater is not the only problem that can occur with sheet alignment and coating placement. Some sheets may also miss the side guide when entering the rollers and so they drift sideways or ‘translate’.

This will cause poor coating placement which can then lead to weld wire breakage, damage to weld rollers or poor-quality welds. With Innosen’s IS430 MK II Sheet Translation Detector, an add-on to the IS416 Sheet Skew Detector, these problems can be avoided.

The IS430 MK II is a Sheet Translation Detector for coating and lacquering lines. It is used at the outfeed of a machine and ensures that the sheet does not translate out of tolerance. This ensures that when the sheet is cut, the margins sit in the correct place. Misplaced margins will no longer cause the welder to stop operation.

The IS430 MK II is an upgraded version of IS430 with improved cables and connectors. These improvements allow better connector protection against lacquer splashes and mist, saving time and money for maintenance. The IS430 MK II is an add-on option to the IS416 Sheet Skew Detector and consists of a single IS430 MK II Measurement Head.
