Provide a company with a device that precisely and accurately measures the velocity of paper traveling through a printer.MISSION POSSIBLE

A common error is to get the difference between the nominal speed and the actual speed confused.Through the printing process the actual speed of the paper varies constantly until it reaches its final destination.Many factors can contribute to the varying speed of the paper.Precise and accurate velocity measurements increase the quality of the print and final product.BACKGROUND

Paper rollers produces the nominal speed because they are moving at a constant speed.Actual speed can be determined by measuring the paper velocity here.LIGHT WAVES vs. SOUND WAVES

Small, compact laser Receiver collects dataPresence of beam = no paper dataAbsence of beam = collection of paper dataStream perpendicular to the paper surface and receiverVersatility to be installed anywhere and at any distanceDoesnt effect paper pathIncreased sampling rate

DESIGNA precise and accurate laser and receiver that measures time to calculate the paper velocity.
