Selection envelopes · model-specific confirmation required
Model	Measuring stroke / mm & inch	Linearity target	Signal output	Wire rope option	Comparison reference
DWP-POS	200–10,000 mm 7.874–393.701 in	±0.15% FS target	4–20 mA · 0–5 V · 0–10 V	Ø0.6–1.0 mm SS316 option	Micro-Epsilon MK88 / MK120; Celesco PT families; ASM

Family ranges are selection envelopes. Output availability, linearity, cable construction, drawings and delivery are confirmed for the quoted configuration.

Output choices require different electronics. A voltage divider, 4–20 mA loop and 0–10 V transmitter are separate configurations.

BEFORE THE MODEL IS FIXED

Four checks for DWP-POS integration.

Hydraulic cylinders, injection molding machines and mobile machinery require a sensor configuration matched to the actual machine and measurement task.

01Two-wire loop versus three-wire transmitter wiring
02Supply voltage, loop burden and input impedance
03Required zero / span mapping and overtravel allowance
04Cable exit direction, speed and environmental exposure

DWP-POS / QUOTATION + ACCESSORIES

Build the sensing package around your machine.

Request the model drawing, cable exit layout and proposed interface with your quotation. Accessory prices below are indicative planning additions, confirmed in the written quote.

Readout, routing & installation options

Indicative additions for quotation planning. Confirm compatibility and final price with the selected sensor.

Extension joints must stay outside the sensor outlet, wiper and pulley. An extension cable does not increase calibrated stroke. Panel relay outputs require machine-specific control validation.
