Wenglor OCP162P0150C Laser Distance Sensor High Precision

The Wenglor OCP162P0150C Laser Distance Sensor High Precision is a high-performance optical measurement device designed for seamless integration into modern EtherCAT networks. Utilizing advanced CMOS line array technology and Digital Signal Processing (DSP), this sensor delivers exceptional measurement accuracy regardless of the target’s material, color, or surface brightness.

Description

The Wenglor OCP162P0150C operates on the principle of angular measurement, allowing for highly stable distance detection within a 120 mm measuring range. One of its standout features is the integration of Power over Ethernet (PoE), which combines data transfer and power supply into a single M12 cable. This significantly reduces wiring effort, saves space in cable tracks, and lowers overall installation costs.

The sensor is built for the rigors of industrial environments, boasting an IP68 protection rating and a durable zinc die-cast housing. Setup and monitoring are remarkably intuitive; users can configure parameters through the integrated OLED graphic display or via the built-in web server. With a laser service life of 100,000 hours and a high output rate of 330/s, this sensor provides a long-term, maintenance-free solution for precision positioning and measurement tasks.
