Wire Roller Contact Sensor

EDL’s Wire Roller Contact Sensor is a game-changer in the world of high-speed wire measurement. This innovative sensor employs brilliantly-designed ball-bearing wheels to expertly guide and stabilize wire on the band, ensuring accuracy and precision. With replaceable bands & interchangeable wheels, you’ll find not only enhanced performance but also substantial long-term savings in maintenance and parts.

Prepare to be impressed. This sensor boasts an impressive response time of under 2.8 seconds for 95% of readings in static conditions. Its standard model can withstand temperatures up to 315 °C (600 °F), while our premium Alumina wheels option is engineered for extreme environments, operating reliably in conditions as high as 1370 °C (2500 °F). RWR Replacement bands are designed to save you money and are easy to install. As they are worn, you can easily, and cost efficiently, replace the parts you need—when you need them.

Designed with the user in mind, our durable aluminum channel is straightforward to install. Your initial order includes standard wheels, perfect for most applications.

If your specific needs demand higher performance, we offer additional wheel choices:

  • Aluminum Wheels
    These perform beautifully across a wide temperature range, withstanding temperatures up to 650 °C (1200 °F).
  • Alumina Wheels
    Designed for the toughest challenges, these wheels provide exceptional thermal insulation and operate seamlessly at temperatures up to 1370 °C (2500 °F).

Our sensor applies minimal pressure to the wire, ensuring accuracy during testing, and comes fully equipped with a 6-foot lead, aluminum channel, and wire guides. If you need longer leads or different wheel types, our team is just an email away to help you.
