Hygienic Time-of-Flight Sensor for Food and Pharmaceuticals
The P2PY111 time-of-flight sensor with wintec (wenglor interference-free technology) stands for reliable object detection under the highest hygiene requirements. Its seal-to-counter design with no holes prevents the accumulation of contamination. With an IP69K degree of protection, FDA compliant materials and ECOLAB certification, the sensor is the right choice for demanding food and pharmaceutical applications. Thanks to DS technology, it also detects dark, shiny and transparent objects such as films, glass bottles or vials precisely and reliably.

Which Applications Is the Time-of-Flight Sensor Suitable for?
Detection of Transparent Injection Solution Bags
In the pharmaceutical industry, injection solutions are filled into bags by the manufacturer and later transferred into vials. A ToF laser distance sensor in a hygienic stainless steel housing reliably detects the transparent bags and controls the handling robot, ensuring a continuous flow of material. Thanks to its hygienic design, the sensor remains clean and free of contaminants and bacteria. With FDA-compliant materials and ECOLAB certification, it is suitable for demanding environments in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Level Measurement in Meat Grinders
In the food industry, the fill level in meat grinders must be reliably measured despite changing products, moisture, and cleaning cycles. A ToF laser distance sensor in a stainless steel housing is installed vertically above the feed hopper and performs a non-contact measurement of the fill level during feeding. This ensures a continuous supply of material, prevents empty runs and dry running of the meat grinder, and guarantees consistent utilization of the system. Thanks to its IP69K degree of protection and hygienic housing design, the sensor withstands high-pressure and foaming agent cleaning without any loss of function.
