Tape Extension Sensor for cost-sensitive applications

Automated Control and ASM launch the new WB61 Tape Extension Sensor that provides up to 4000mm measuring length in a compact, industrial housing. ASM Tape Extension Sensors have been designed to operate in harsh conditions, making them a perfect choice for installation on cranes, excavators, forklifts and access platforms.

Due to the design of the sensor and the inherent strength of the stainless steel tape, the WB61 range of sensors can be found in environments and upon applications where other traditional pull-wire sensors struggle to survive. The durability of the extension tape allows for the reliable use of directional changing pulleys and also within applications where icing may occur. These features make the sensor ideal for safety critical control functions within the mobile equipment market.
  • Housing manufactured from composite and stainless steel components
  • Rugged sensor that meets the sealing level of IP67/69K
  • Choice of three analogue and three digital outputs (SSI, CANopen or CAN J1939)
  • Linearity of +/- 0.10% with the option of redundant outputs
