Thanks to IO-Link or external teach-in, the switching threshold can be adapted while the process is running, increasing process reliability
Easy to access data from the PLC via IO-Link

The slim, forked shape of the WFS has been specially developed for the requirements of the labeling process. The design allows the sensor to be mounted directly on the edge of a label dispenser. Difficulty in detecting the label gap is finally eliminated – the sensor's switching threshold can be taught-in while the label strip is running. This sophisticated operating concept means the sensor can be adjusted to different labels quickly, easily, and reliably. The fast response time guarantees exceptional repeat accuracy.
