About Sensors
On the Edge-SS, sensors provide input to the PLC as part of the automation of the door cutting
process, including feed through, door clamping, and door location. It is important to keep the sen-
sors cleaned and aligned to keep the door process running smoothly. There are two classifications
of sensors on the Face-SS: Photo Electronic and Inductive Proximity Sensor.
