esp-4 label/splice sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ESP-4 is a compact label and splice sensor designed for high-speed web and label applications. It features multiple teach-in methods, quick response times, and optional M12 sensor heads for versatile use.
Key Features:
  • Three teach-in methods for customizable sensor configuration.
  • Response time of less than 300 μs for high-speed operations.
  • QuickTeach for simplified setup.
  • Splice detection capability for thick band materials.
  • Two switching outputs for label/splice detection and web break monitoring.
  • LinkControl for optional installation and commissioning assistance.
Technical Specifications:
  • Operating voltage: 20 - 30 V DC with reverse polarity protection.
  • Transducer frequency: 400 kHz or 500 kHz depending on the model.
  • Blind zone: 5 mm or 7 mm in front of transmitter and receiver.
  • Operating temperature: +5°C to +60°C; Storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
  • Protection class: IP 65.
  • Material: Brass sleeve, nickel-plated with plastic parts (PBT, PA).
Design Variants:
  • ESP-4/3CDD/M18 E+S: Integrated receiving transducer for thick sheeting detection.
  • ESP-4/M12/3CDD/M18 E+S: External receiving transducer housed in M12 threaded sleeves for label detection.
Applications: Suitable for detecting labels, splices, and web breaks in various materials including metal-laminated sheets, films, and self-adhesive films.
Additional Information: The sensor can be customized for specific applications, and support is available for individual solutions.

esp-4 label/splice sensor-3

Label and splice sensor in one appliance With a rapid pulse sequence, an ultrasonic transmitter beams upwards against the backing material. The effect of the sound pulses inducing the backing material to vibrate is for a markedly weakened sonic wave to be emitted on the opposite side. The receiver receives this sonic wave and analyses it. The backing material signal level is different to that of the label or splice. And this difference in signal is analysed by the esp-4. The difference between backing material and a label or between sheeting and splice can be very slight indeed. In order to differentiate,...

This Teach-in method is also suitable for Teach-in of a tear-open string on a cellophane film. Here, during Teach-in, the tear-open string on the cellophane film is moved a number of times through the sensor. This enables the esp-4 to gauge the changing between cellophane film and tear-open string. B) Separate Teach-in for backing material and labels The signal level difference for the backing material and labels might be very slight. In order to still scan labels with very little difference in signals, Teach-in for the signal levels is done separately: Teach-in is first done for the backing...

QuickTeach The esp-4 learns the material as long as signal level is applied to C1. With LinkControl the esp-4 can optionally be parameterised. Measured values can also be shown grafically. Two housing designs with different ultrasonic frequencies The esp-4/3CDD/M18 E+S and esp-4/3BEE/M18 as a receiving transducer integrated directly into the evaluation electronics is typically used for the detection of splices in thick sheetings. The esp-4/M12/3CDD/M18 E+S has an external receiving transducer. The transmitter and receiver are each housed in M12 threaded sleeves. The variant with M12 sensor heads...
