Wenglor TM55PCT2 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 600mm Range

Description

The Wenglor TM55PCT2 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 600 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 TM55PCT2. With a switching frequency of 500 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, it handles fast-moving parts with consistent accuracy. The sensor is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, featuring a broad temperature range of -25 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.
