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 ## Benefits - 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 ## Applications - Web guiding (edge, center, and contrast guiding) - Edge position measurement - Multiple edge position measurement (up to 128 edges) - Center position measurement - Line/contrast position measurement - Width measurement and coating width measurement - Multiple strip width measurement - Thread/string counting - Flag detection and splice detection - Tear detection and simple inspection ## Product Details - **Web Widths:** Medium (12"-48"), Wide (48"-72"), Extra Wide (>72") - **Line Speeds:** 1000+ fpm - **Material Types:** Nonwoven, Porous/Perforated - **Lead Time:** 2-3 Weeks ## Documentation **3D Model (STEP):** [Mounting Bracket for 1in or 25mm Extrusion for WPS, ODC and 1DC Sensors](https://live-roll2roll.pantheonsite.io/documentation/3d-models/mounting-bracket-1in-or-25mm-extrusion-wps-odc-and-1dc-sensors.md) **Additional documentation:** -
