Wenglor OSD124Z0003 Through Beam Sensor | 50m Long Range

The Wenglor OSD124Z0003 Through Beam Sensor receiver is a powerhouse of long-distance detection, offering an expansive working range of up to 50,000 mm. Designed for reliability in the most demanding industrial environments, this sensor utilizes a high-intensity red light source to maintain a stable signal even when faced with significant environmental interference.

Description

The Wenglor OSD124Z0003 Through Beam Sensor operates as a dedicated receiver within a high-performance light barrier system. By establishing a direct optical path with its corresponding transmitter, it can detect objects across distances that standard sensors simply cannot reach. Its core advantage lies in its high light intensity and massive switching reserve, which allow the red light beam to effectively penetrate obstacles such as heavy dust, steam, or fog that often compromise signal integrity in industrial plants.

Engineered with a focus on ease of integration, the sensor features a 5-degree opening angle, facilitating easier alignment over long spans. The unit is housed in a rugged ABS/GF plastic shell, providing superior resistance to impacts and chemical exposure. Furthermore, the internal electronics are protected against reverse polarity and offer high ambient light immunity up to 10,000 Lux, ensuring that bright factory lighting or stray sunlight does not cause false triggers. This combination of range and resilience makes it a benchmark for long-distance presence and position monitoring.
