Sheet Positioning Measurement Switchbox
IS228A
Connects two different IS430 MK II Sheet Translation Measurement System heads to the same electronics unit.
The IS228A is a switchbox for the IS430 MK II Sheet Translation Measurement System, that allows the users to connect two different IS430 MK II heads to the same electronics unit.
The switch is connected between the controller and the IS430 MK II heads. It allows the operators to choose which sheet positioning measurement should be used, just by switching the knob from L to R. With the use of this switchbox, one controller can accommodate two different sheet translation measurement heads without connecting and disconnecting its cables to the controller.
This is convenient on production lines when the fixed outer margin often changes side as for optimum precision the IS430 MK II must always inspect the fixed outer margin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IS228A Sheet Positioning Measurement Switchbox?
- The IS228A is a switchbox for the IS430 MK II Sheet Translation Measurement System. It lets you connect two different IS430 MK II heads to the same electronics unit, so a single controller can drive both.
How do you switch between the two heads?
- Both heads stay connected to the switchbox at the same time. The operator uses the toggle switch to choose which head (L/R) is active, with no unplugging or reconnecting between measurements.
Why use a switchbox instead of swapping head cables?
- Repeatedly connecting and disconnecting heads is slow and wears the connectors. The IS228A keeps both heads wired in, so changeovers take seconds and connector wear is reduced.
Which system does the IS228A work with?
- It connects between the controller and Innosen IS430 MK II Sheet Translation Measurement heads, and is ideal for lines where the fixed outer margin changes sides.
Can two heads be used without reconnecting cables each time?
- Yes. The switchbox routes the signal between whichever head is selected and the controller, so operators can alternate between two heads instantly without reconnecting.
