Wenglor L1FL66VD Retro Reflex Sensor Universal | 4m Range

The Wenglor L1FL66VD Retro Reflex Sensor Universal is a high-performance optoelectronic solution specifically engineered for the challenging task of detecting transparent objects. Whether your application involves crystal-clear glass, PET bottles, or thin transparent films, this sensor provides the reliability and precision required for modern, high-speed automated production lines.

Description

The Wenglor L1FL66VD Retro Reflex Sensor Universal operates as a sophisticated light barrier that utilizes a retro-reflex principle to monitor light attenuation. Unlike standard sensors that struggle with light pass-through on clear materials, this model is finely calibrated to recognize the subtle changes in light intensity caused by transparent targets. This capability allows for flawless detection of objects that are typically invisible to traditional sensors.

Efficiency and precision are the hallmarks of its design. The sensor features a single-lens optic system, which effectively eliminates the blind spots often found in dual-lens alternatives, ensuring accurate detection even when objects are positioned close to the sensor face. To maintain signal stability in environments with reflective backgrounds, it includes an integrated polarization filter that suppresses interference from shiny surfaces. Furthermore, the inclusion of an RS-232 interface enables the activation of configurable time delays (0 to 5 seconds), allowing for seamless signal smoothing in complex logic sequences. Housed in a combination of PBT and V2A stainless steel, the L1FL66VD is fully encapsulated and IP67-rated, ensuring it withstands moisture and dust.
