The Hidden Cost of Legacy Sensors

Plants using ultrasonic or infrared sensors lose several hours each month to recalibration when materials change. Every adjustment is labor cost and production time you never recover.

1DC 384

One Sensor. Infinite Possibilities.

Lead Time: 2-3 Weeks
10+ Years R&D 1000+ Installations Setup in <5 Minutes

Key Features

Technical capabilities designed for precision and reliability.

  • All-in-one design – integrated sensor and controller eliminates external hardware, cables, and complexity
  • Zero recalibration – sensor adapts automatically to any material (clear, opaque, metallic, nonwoven, mesh)
  • High resolution – 0.0635 mm (0.0025 in) hardware resolution across the entire sensing width
  • Material-agnostic detection – patented fiber-optic technology based on light scattering and spatial filtering
  • IP67 protection – sealed aluminum housing withstands harsh industrial environments (IP68 available on request)
  • Native industrial Ethernet – EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus/TCP, CC-Link IE Field Basic
  • Vacuum compatible – operates reliably in vacuum chamber applications

Key Benefits

Measurable business value and operational improvements.

  • Stop paying for separate controllers – all-in-one design eliminates external hardware and reduces total system cost
  • Eliminate integration complexity – just power and one Ethernet cable replaces multi-component wiring
  • End unplanned downtime from cable failures and connector issues between sensors and controllers
  • Stop losing hours to sensor recalibration when switching between materials
  • Prevent hidden scrap from temperature-related inaccuracies that plague ultrasonic sensors
