  • DE 42 03 947 A1 shows a method for setting a web edge of a moving material web contact feeler detecting sensor.
  • the sensor can be adjusted by a sensor adjustment device to compensate for a change in the material to be controlled and / or sensor fouling in a simple manner.
  • the Fühlerverstellêt is driven by an electronic signal processing device for performing an adjustment transversely to the web edge.
  • GB 2313 831 A discloses a printing machine with two offset to the direction of each other running paths for the transport of material webs. Each of the two paths is assigned its own sensor for detecting the web edges.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for measuring a layer of webs.
  • Such a device makes it possible to use the sensor both for detecting the position of a material web, the straight through a first starting position is fed, as well as to use the same sensor for detecting the position of a web, which is supplied by lateral displacement of a second starting position.
  • An additional sensor for detecting the position of a material web at the second starting position becomes superfluous.
  • the webs are guided at their entry and exit positions via guide rollers. It may be advantageous that a guide roller for all initial positions of the material webs is present.
  • separate guide rolls are provided for the first home positions and for the second home positions.
  • the essential advantage of this embodiment is a lower weight of a roller, which can thus follow a braking or acceleration of the web faster.
