Wenglor LB66PC7 Retro Reflex Sensor – High Performance Universal

The Wenglor LB66PC7 Retro Reflex Sensor Universal is a high-performance optical sensing solution designed for precision and reliability in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a compact micro-design and advanced polarized light technology, this sensor excels at detecting even the most challenging glossy or reflective surfaces.

Description

The Wenglor LB66PC7 Retro Reflex Sensor Universal is engineered to overcome common optical sensing hurdles. By utilizing polarized red light in combination with a reflector, the sensor effectively filters out interference from shiny or metallic objects that often cause false triggers in standard sensors. This makes it an indispensable tool for industries dealing with diverse packaging materials and reflective components.

Beyond its precision, the LB66PC7 is built for longevity. It features a micro-design that allows for seamless integration into tight spaces without compromising on power. With a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a rapid response time of 333 µs, it handles high-speed processes with ease, while the IP67-rated stainless steel housing provides superior protection against moisture and industrial contaminants.
