The Wenglor EK96VD8 Through Beam Sensor serves as the emitting powerhouse of a high-efficiency light barrier system. By utilizing a separate emitter and receiver configuration, through-beam technology offers the most stable sensing method available, as it is significantly less affected by the color, shape, or surface texture of the target objects. This system ensures consistent performance even across a massive 60-meter span.
Technical precision is at the heart of the EK96VD8. It features a lightning-fast switching frequency of 2,000 Hz, allowing it to track rapidly moving parts on high-speed production lines without error. For advanced system integration, the built-in RS-232 interface enables users to parameterize the sensor digitally, including the adjustment of on-delay and off-delay settings from 0 to 5 seconds. Its durability is guaranteed by a high-grade PBT and V2A stainless steel housing, which is fully encapsulated to prevent ingress from dust and water.
The Wenglor EK96VD8 Through Beam Sensor is an elite industrial sensing component designed for long-range detection with absolute reliability. As a high-performance emitter, it projects a powerful red light beam across distances of up to 60,000 mm, making it the ideal solution for large-scale automation and factory environments where standard sensors fall short.
