Description

The Wenglor SO953N Through Beam Sensor operates as a robust emitter unit engineered to optimize detection accuracy in factory settings. By utilizing a visible red light source with an 8-degree opening angle, the device provides a stable beam that is easy to align. Its design specifically targets industrial environments where airborne particles often compromise standard optical sensors, leveraging its large working range to maintain a clear signal through contamination.

Durability is a core feature of the SO953N. The sensor is housed in a nickel-plated brass casing with full encapsulation, achieving an IP67 protection rating. This ensures internal components are completely shielded from moisture and mechanical stress. Furthermore, the device includes an integrated test input, allowing operators to verify correct functioning instantly. This feature is essential for proactive maintenance and reducing unexpected downtime in high-stakes production lines.
