Description

In the demanding world of automated waste sorting, the Wenglor OSRS946 Through Beam Sensor for PET Selection stands out as a critical component for high-purity recycling streams. Operating as a dedicated receiver, it works in tandem with a transmitter to detect the presence and characteristics of PET containers as they move at high speeds. Unlike standard sensors that may struggle with the refractive properties of clear plastic, the OSRS946 is optimized to recognize the specific optical footprint of PET.

This sensor is built to maximize throughput without sacrificing accuracy. Its rapid 0.25 ms response time ensures that even closely spaced bottles are identified individually, allowing for precise pneumatic ejection or robotic picking downstream. The competitive advantage of the OSRS946 lies in its ability to handle “dirty” industrial conditions; the stainless steel 1.4404 housing and PMMA optic cover are resistant to impact and common cleaning agents. Furthermore, its wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to 60 °C ensures consistent performance regardless of facility conditions.
