Rhinoeye Fiber-Optic Sheet Break Detection

Rhinoeye is the latest in Digital Infrared solutions for non-contact reliable detection of sheet breaks on a paper machine.
The Rhinoeye is designed to hold up in the toughest of applications. The sensor head can be installed in dusty, steamy locations above or below the sheet. The air purge system keeps the eyes clean and unaffected by high temperatures. Rhinoeye IR Source and Purge System can be located 20 to 30 feet away from the measuring head. The IR source can detect presence or non presence of not only paper but any other surface.

The Rhinoeye digital signal gives an instant response to paper breaks on the machine. This technology is not subject to interference of backlight or indirect light concentrations. The sensor unit sends IR light onto the monitored surface
through a fiber optic cable. The sensor converts the reflected light and is transmitted to the interface box. This signal is
converted to provide dual contact relay outputs and dual 4 to 20 mA signal based off configuration.
