New Reflex Sensors with Time-of-Flight Technology for Object Detection at Long Distances

With the new P1PH9 reflex sensor, the wenglor sensoric group is presenting a sensor for reliably checking the presence of objects over long distances. By combining time-of-flight technology with visible red LED light, the P1PH9 sensors enable the detection of objects at distances of up to 2,500 mm. Thanks to the enlarged light spot, presence checks can be performed for objects of a wide range of shapes. The integrated dynamic adjustment of the emitted light brightness ensures reliable switching. In addition, the high interference immunity makes the reflex sensors robust against ambient light, reflections and contamination. 

The P1PH9 reflex sensors impress first and foremost due to their large detection range for the reliable detection of a wide range of objects. Black surfaces are also reliably detected by the red LED light, even if the objects are irregularly shaped or have perforations. P1PH9 sensors are highly immune to interference such as ambient light, background reflections, contamination and dust. IO-Link 1.1 enables quick and easy parameterization and access to process data. The switching distance can be easily adjusted using the potentiometer. The higher detection range and the 1P format with a rotating plug allow for flexible mounting options.
