Description

The Wenglor P1KT003 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the light reflected directly off the object is used for switching. This makes it particularly effective for detecting a wide range of materials and surfaces within its 400 mm functional range. Its visible red light source simplifies the alignment process during installation, allowing maintenance teams to quickly set up and calibrate the unit without specialized equipment.

Performance and reliability are at the core of the P1KT003. With a high switching frequency of 1000 Hz and a response time of 0.5 ms, it handles fast-moving parts with consistent accuracy. The sensor is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, featuring a broad operating temperature range of -40 to 60 °C and full encapsulation. It also incorporates essential electrical safeguards, such as short circuit and reverse polarity protection, ensuring a long and maintenance-free service life of up to 100,000 hours.
