Description

The Wenglor OCP162H0180 Laser Distance Sensor High Precision sets a new standard for optical measurement in sanitary applications. Its triangulation-based measurement principle allows for a 120 mm measuring range with sub-millimeter precision. By processing all service and measurement data directly within the control unit in real-time, the sensor eliminates the need for external analog or digital input cards, reducing overall system latency and cost.

Beyond its technical precision, this sensor is designed for longevity and ease of use. The FDA-compliant materials and gap-free design make it ideal for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries where frequent cleaning is required. Users can easily configure the device via a built-in web server or the intuitive OLED graphic display. With a laser service life of 100,000 hours and a high output rate of 330/s, the OCP162H0180 provides a maintenance-free, high-speed solution for critical positioning and measurement tasks.
