Description

The Wenglor LW86PCV3 Retro Reflex Sensor Universal stands out in the field of optoelectronics by offering a specialized solution for materials that are traditionally difficult to detect. By utilizing a retro-reflex light barrier principle, the sensor monitors light attenuation with extreme sensitivity, making it capable of recognizing clear glass and transparent films without fail.

One of the primary competitive advantages of this model is its single-lens optic system, which eliminates blind spots and ensures high-resolution detection even at close range. The sensor is equipped with a polarization filter to suppress interference from shiny surfaces, ensuring that only the intended target triggers a signal. Furthermore, the inclusion of an RS-232 interface provides a modern layer of control, enabling users to configure on/off delays directly through the interface to stabilize signals in high-speed workflows.
