Transit Time Sensors
These sensors measure the distance between the sensor and the object in accordance with the principle of transit time measurement. For this reason, the object’s color, shape and surface characteristics have practically no influence on the switching point. Even dark objects can be reliably recognized against bright backgrounds. If the object reaches the adjusted switching point, the output switches. A large working range is achieved by these sensors and they recognize objects at great distances.
Applications
- Recognition of objects at great distances
- Position detection for factory conveyor vehicles
- Loop controls
- Fill-level control
- Position detection for electrical overhead conveyors
- Shelf-full messages for automated rack systems
- Edge recognition
- Object counting
- Monitoring openings
- Drill breakage monitoring
- Recognition of extremely small parts
Light Spot
The Light Spot is readily visible, even over great distances, allowing for easy adjustment and initial start up. The very fine light beam ensures a small diameter spot meaning even smallest parts can be recognized.
Transit Time Sensors
The sensors are working directly on the object. The outputs switch at the teached distance. The Teach-In happens at the push of a button or via a control signal. Interface Sensor functions can be activated and scanning results can be acquired via the RS-232 interface.
Adjustments
The adjustments are made by the push of a button or over the menu-driven Display or external via the RS-232 interface. A wenglor configuration software with graphical desktop provides a simple and fast adjustment.
Display
The novel OLED Display guarantees a simple adjustment of the sensors. Measuring values are readable immediately.
Laser Class
Sensors with laser class 1 have the smallest laser capacity according to EN 60825-1 and make warning signs redundant. Due to their higher light capacity, sensors with laser class 2 achieve better specifications.
