Page: 7 / 155

Introduction
The MICRO 4000 NET Web Guide Control System is a microprocessor-based control system for
medium to large-sized web guides. It is compatible with AccuWeb’s dynamically compensated
ultrasonic and infrared edge detectors, digital line guide, remote stations, and all linear actuators.
A MICRO 4000 NET system can include up to seven main components:
1. Edge Detector or Line Guide Sensor
PointSource and WideArray Compensated Edge Detectors
•
Ultra-compact housing
•
Available with sensing areas ranging from 0.2” to 18.6” wide [5mm to 472mm]
•
Available with gap widths ranging from 1.5” to 4” [38mm to 102mm]
•
Fully compensated for temperature, humidity, dust, and most other process contaminants
•
Immune to passline variation and web flutter
•
Suitable for long cable length applications
•
Intrinsically-safe models available for hazardous environments
