Wenglor HD03PA Reflex Sensor Energetic | 100mm Range

Description

The Wenglor HD03PA Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor detects light reflected directly off the target object. This makes it an exceptionally versatile tool for detecting different materials and surfaces at close ranges. The use of a visible red light source allows for rapid and intuitive alignment during installation, saving valuable setup time for maintenance teams and engineers.

Technical reliability is a hallmark of the HD03PA model. It features a high switching frequency of 500 Hz and a fast response time of 1 ms, allowing it to accurately track parts in high-speed manufacturing environments. Despite its tiny size, the sensor is built to last with a service life of up to 100,000 hours. It is also equipped with essential electrical safety features, including short circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection, ensuring stable operation even under demanding electrical conditions.
