esp-4 Series Label and Splice Sensor
Ultrasonic sensor detecting labels and splices in a single device, with M18 transmitter + receiver design and optional M12 sensor heads.
Key Features
- Label and splice sensor in a single device; M18 design with separate transmitter and receiver
- Variant with very compact M12 transmitter and receiver heads (preferred for label detection)
- 2 switching outputs (pnp or npn) for label/splice detection and web-break monitoring
- Response time below 300 µs; for high web and label speeds
- 3 Teach-in methods and QuickTeach for adjustment to any application
- Splice detection even on thick web materials
- Optional set-up and commissioning support with LinkControl
