Sensor for edge position of electro-conductive material

摘要

The edge portion of an electro-conductive material inserted between a pair of the transmitting electrodes of triangular plate disposed flatly in opposite directions each other and the receiving electrode. The exciting signal source applies respectively the alternating voltage signal S1 with frequency f1 on one of the transmitting electrodes and the alternating voltage signal S2 with frequency f2 on the other transmitting electrode. The insertion extent of the strip edge of the electro-conductive material is evaluated with the ratio between the current I1 with frequency f1 and the current I2 with frequency f2 generated on the receiving electrode.
