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.

WPS 900

The Widest Sensing Range for Edge Detection and More

Lead Time: Legacy - Contact for Availability
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)
  • Extra-large sensing range – 900 mm (35.4 in) for the widest web 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

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

Note: WPS is a legacy product line. For new installations, consider the ODC 960 with enhanced features.
