Description

The Wenglor P1KE004 Through Beam Sensor functions as the intelligent receiver unit in a high-performance optical barrier system. By establishing a 20-meter detection field with its matching emitter, it provides a stable signal even in challenging conditions. The sensor is built with a high switching reserve, ensuring that the presence of dust or minor environmental interference does not compromise operational uptime.

One of the standout advantages of this model is its digital connectivity. Equipped with IO-Link version 1.1, the P1KE004 allows for remote configuration and real-time monitoring of sensor health. This enables predictive maintenance strategies that reduce unplanned downtime. The receiver utilizes a narrow 2-degree opening angle to maintain clinical accuracy at maximum range, while the Push-Pull switching output (PNP/NPN) provides maximum flexibility for various PLC architectures. Encased in a rugged plastic housing with an IP67 rating, this sensor operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40 °C to 60 °C.
