Wenglor HD11PCV3 Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression

Description

The Wenglor HD11PCV3 Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression operates by measuring angles to determine distance, a method that provides superior accuracy compared to standard intensity-based sensors. By utilizing this geometric principle, the sensor effectively ignores any objects or surfaces located beyond the set focal point, allowing it to “see” targets clearly against a busy or reflective background.

Built for longevity and precision, the sensor is encased in a V2A stainless steel housing (1.4305 / 303) and is fully encapsulated to achieve an IP67 protection rating. This makes it highly resistant to environmental stressors such as moisture and dust. With a high switching frequency of 600 Hz and a rapid response time of 833 µs, the HD11PCV3 is optimized for fast-paced production lines where timing and reliability are critical.
