Wenglor HD03PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 3000mm Range

The Wenglor HD03PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic is an advanced optical sensing solution designed for long-distance object detection in demanding industrial environments. Utilizing high-intensity red light technology, this sensor offers an impressive functional range of up to 3000 mm, providing exceptional reliability for large-scale automation tasks.

Description

The Wenglor HD03PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor identifies objects by evaluating the light reflected directly back from the target’s surface. This model is specifically optimized for long-range detection, capable of reaching up to 3000 mm. The visible red light source acts as a significant advantage during installation, allowing engineers to align and calibrate the sensor quickly and accurately without specialized diagnostic tools.

Reliability in high-speed operations is a hallmark of the Wenglor HD03PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic. With a switching frequency of 1000 Hz and a response time of 0.5 ms, it captures data with precision even in rapid manufacturing cycles. The unit is designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, featuring full encapsulation and an operating temperature range of -25 to 60 °C. To ensure long-term operational safety, it includes integrated protection against short circuits, reverse polarity, and overloads, boasting a service life of up to 100,000 hours.
