Description

The Wenglor P1KE015 Through Beam Sensor represents the pinnacle of optical sensing for micro-part detection. Unlike standard red-light sensors, this model uses a Class 1 laser that remains highly focused over long distances. This collimated beam ensures that even the smallest components moving at high velocities are captured with absolute consistency.

This sensor is built for integration into modern I4.0 architectures. With the IO-Link interface, engineers can remotely adjust switching distances, output logic (PNP/NPN), and NC/NO states, significantly reducing setup time. Beyond configuration, the P1KE015 supports continuous condition monitoring by outputting real-time signal values and switching statuses. To ensure maximum uptime, the unit features a test input that allows for periodic functional verification of the transmitter and receiver circuit without interrupting the physical mechanical setup.
