Photocell dosing unit Compa III/V Carl Valentin 9042750

Photocell for Compa III/Compa V dispensing unit

The photocell for the dispensing unit is an optical sensor dedicated to the Carl Valentin Compa III and Compa V label printers, used in dispensing unit mode. It precisely detects the edge of the label on the substrate, allowing the printer to stop the feed at the correct position and peel off label after label, ready for application.

By integrating the photocell into the dispensing unit, the labeling system operates in semi-automatic mode, the operator taking over the peeled label and the printer automatically preparing the next label. The sensor is optimized for industrial use, ensuring stable, repeatable detection and minimal downtime.
