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.

ODC 48

Eliminate Recalibration. Detect Any Material.

Lead Time: Standard (3-4 Weeks)
10+ Years R&D 1000+ Installations Setup in <5 Minutes

Key Features

Technical capabilities designed for precision and reliability.

  • Zero recalibration – sensor adapts automatically to any material (clear, opaque, metallic, nonwoven, mesh)
  • High resolution – hardware resolution independent of sensing range
  • Material-agnostic detection – fiber-optic technology based on light scattering and spatial filtering
  • Temperature immune – unlike ultrasonic sensors, performance unaffected by temperature changes
  • One sensor, multiple applications – edge guiding, width measurement, centerline detection, and more

Key Benefits

Measurable business value and operational improvements.

  • Stop losing hours to sensor recalibration when switching between materials
  • Eliminate changeover delays – no manual sensor adjustments between product runs
  • End quality escapes caused by undetected sensor drift between changeovers
  • Remove safety risks from operators accessing sensors in awkward positions
  • Prevent hidden scrap from temperature-related inaccuracies that plague ultrasonic sensors
