Wenglor TM22PA2 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 400mm Range

Description

The Wenglor TM22PA2 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor detects objects by analyzing the light reflected directly off their surface. This method is exceptionally versatile for detecting parts at mid-range distances. The inclusion of a visible red light source provides a significant advantage during commissioning, allowing technicians to align the sensor quickly and accurately onto the target path.

Technical reliability is at the heart of this sensor’s design. It boasts a switching frequency of 500 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, enabling it to maintain precision even in high-throughput manufacturing processes. Designed to withstand rigorous industrial use, the sensor features a broad operating temperature range of -25 to 60 °C and is fully encapsulated to prevent internal contamination. Safety is prioritized through integrated short circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection, ensuring the unit remains operational throughout its impressive 100,000-hour service life.
