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.

10+ Years R&D 1000+ Installations Setup in <5 Minutes

Zero recalibration – sensor adapts automatically to any material (clear, opaque, metallic, nonwoven, mesh)
Medium sensing range – 112 mm (4.4 in) for versatile applications
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

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

Note: WPS is a legacy product line. For new installations, consider the ODC 96 or ODC 192 with enhanced features.
