The Wenglor K1R87PCT2 Retro Reflex Sensor for Transparent Objects sets a high standard in clear material detection by utilizing a retro-reflex principle that monitors light attenuation with extreme sensitivity. While standard sensors often fail when light passes through clear targets, the K1R87PCT2 is calibrated to recognize these subtle changes, ensuring that transparent objects are counted or positioned with 100% accuracy.
One of the primary competitive advantages of this model is its single-lens optic technology. This design eliminates the blind spots commonly found in dual-lens systems, allowing the sensor to detect objects even when they are positioned very close to the lens. To maintain signal integrity in complex industrial environments, the sensor includes a polarization filter that suppresses interference from shiny backgrounds. Furthermore, the built-in RS-232 interface allows users to configure on-delay or off-delay settings (up to 5 seconds), ensuring the signal output is perfectly stabilized for your specific control logic. Housed in a combination of PBT and V2A stainless steel with an IP67 rating, this sensor is built to withstand dust, moisture, and vibration.
The Wenglor K1R87PCT2 Retro Reflex Sensor for Transparent Objects is a high-performance sensing solution specifically engineered to identify materials that are traditionally difficult for optoelectronic sensors to track. From crystal-clear glass to thin transparent films and PET bottles, this sensor provides the reliability needed for high-speed automated production lines.
