Description

The Wenglor YO99VB3 Through Beam Sensor functions as a high-end receiver within a laser-based detection system. By utilizing a Class 2 red laser light source, it achieves a remarkable resolution, capable of recognizing parts as small as 50 µm (0.05 mm). This makes it an essential tool for quality control and precision positioning where standard sensors fail to provide the necessary detail.

What sets this sensor apart is its exceptional speed and environmental resilience. With a response time of just 100 µs and a switching frequency of 5 kHz, it can keep up with the fastest industrial processes. The device is fully encapsulated with an IP67 rating, ensuring that dust, moisture, and high ambient light (up to 10,000 Lux) do not compromise its excellent functional reliability. The integrated potentiometer allows for fine-tuning the sensitivity, ensuring the sensor is perfectly calibrated for your specific application requirements.
