Wenglor OSWK803Z0002 Through Beam Sensor | 50m Range Receiver

The Wenglor OSWK803Z0002 Through Beam Sensor receiver is a high-performance industrial sensing solution designed for extreme long-distance detection. Capable of achieving an impressive working range of up to 50,000 mm, this sensor ensures consistent and stable object detection even across massive transit paths.

Description

The Wenglor OSWK803Z0002 Through Beam Sensor functions as a dedicated receiver unit that establishes a powerful light barrier when paired with a compatible transmitter. By utilizing a high-intensity red light source, the system generates a massive switching reserve. This technical advantage allows the sensor to penetrate airborne contaminants and optical interferences, ensuring the signal remains intact where precision is most needed.

Durability and ease of integration are at the core of this model. The sensor is housed in a rugged ABS/GF plastic casing with an IP67 protection rating, making it resistant to moisture and industrial debris. With a 5-degree opening angle, the OSWK803Z0002 facilitates easier alignment over its 50-meter span. Additionally, the unit features high ambient light immunity of up to 10,000 Lux, preventing false triggers caused by bright factory lighting or stray sunlight. This combination of long-range capability and environmental resilience makes it an industry standard for large-scale position and presence monitoring.
