The sensor can detecta variety of adhesive labels on assorted web backings withdifferentiation between the gap and the label. An integratedteach key makes the sensor fast and easy to use. The LBX-50model is ideal for standard and low contrast labels: in standardmode, pressing the teach key once sets the switching point forstandard labels, while in teach-thin mode, two presses set theswitching point for low contrast labels. With higher sensitivityfor nearly-clear labels, the LBX-100 model includes teachstandardand teach-thin modes, as well as a custom mode torecord a separate measurement on the gap and on the labelfor optimal detection.
