Maxcess to Unveil New Sensor from Fife at ICE Europe and IDEA USA
March 11, 2019Maxcess, a global leader in innovative products and services for web handling applications, will unveil the DST-1 sensor from Fife at ICE Europe in Munich, Germany, March 12-14 and at IDEA in Miami, Florida, March 26-28.
“The DST-1 utilizes state-of-the-art technology to guide the most challenging
materials that other sensors simply can’t recognize,” said Shomari Head, Global
Product Manager for Fife Guiding. “We have put it through its paces in our lab
and been able to successfully guide materials we never dreamed possible.”
Utilizing multiple cameras for object-based recognition, the DST-1 is able to guide a wide range of materials from mesh to wire gauge and frayed materials that infrared, ultrasonic, line guide and other optical sensors have traditionally failed.
“This year marks Fife’s 80th anniversary,” said Greg
Jehlik, CEO of Maxcess. “During our storied history we have introduced a number
of technological breakthroughs to the guiding industry, and the DST-1 is no
exception.”
