The Wenglor EK96VD Through Beam Sensor operates as the emitting half of a dual-component sensing system. By separating the emitter and receiver, this configuration provides superior resistance to environmental factors such as dust, steam, and ambient light interference. This makes the EK96VD an ideal solution for heavy-duty industrial environments where standard reflex sensors might fail.
Beyond its impressive 60-meter range, this sensor is built for speed. With a switching frequency of 2,000 Hz and a lightning-fast response time of 250 µs, it accurately tracks fast-moving objects without lag. The inclusion of an RS-232 interface allows for sophisticated parameterization, including the configuration of time delays (0…5 s) to harmonize the sensor’s output with your specific control logic. The housing, constructed from high-grade PBT and V2A stainless steel, is fully encapsulated to achieve an IP67 protection rating, ensuring it withstands the rigors of industrial wear and tear.
The Wenglor EK96VD Through Beam Sensor is a powerhouse in industrial optoelectronics, specifically engineered for long-distance detection and uncompromising reliability. As the emitter component of a high-performance light barrier system, it projects a powerful red light beam capable of reaching up to 60,000 mm, ensuring your automation processes remain stable even over vast spans.
