The Wenglor ZW6003 Through-Beam Sensor stands out in the field of optoelectronics by offering the most stable sensing method available: the through-beam principle. By utilizing separate emitter and receiver units, this system remains virtually unaffected by the target’s color, surface texture, or shape. It provides a massive 60-meter sensing range, making it far superior to standard reflex sensors for expansive production lines and large-scale industrial facilities.
This sensor is engineered for technical precision and speed. With a switching frequency of 2,000 Hz and a response time of 250 µs, it can detect fast-moving parts with absolute accuracy. The inclusion of an RS-232 interface allows for advanced parameterization, enabling users to digitally configure on-delay or off-delay settings from 0 to 5 seconds. Its rugged construction features a combination of PBT and V2A stainless steel, reaching an IP67 protection rating for full encapsulation against water, dust, and vibration.
The Wenglor ZW6003 Through-Beam Sensor is a specialized industrial solution designed for high-precision detection over extraordinary distances. Operating as the emitter component of a high-performance light barrier system, it projects a powerful red light beam up to 60,000 mm, ensuring reliable object tracking in even the largest factory environments.
Technology that moves in over three decades of wenglor sensoric. On this interactive journey through time, we researched deep into wenglor’s archives and have tracked the history of the company since the eighties – starting in an attic and growing into a global corporation.
