Wenglor OTDK502A0002 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 500mm Range

The Wenglor OTDK502A0002 Reflex Sensor Energetic is a premium optical sensing solution designed for high-precision object detection in automated industrial environments. Utilizing advanced red light technology, this sensor provides a reliable functional range of up to 500 mm, ensuring consistent switching performance across various material surfaces.

Description

The Wenglor OTDK502A0002 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor detects targets by evaluating the intensity of light reflected directly from the object’s surface. This model is particularly effective for medium-range applications up to 500 mm. The integrated red light source is a major advantage during installation, as the visible beam allows technicians to perform quick and accurate alignment without the need for complex diagnostic tools.

Reliability is built into every aspect of this sensor. With a switching frequency of 1000 Hz and a response time of 0.5 ms, it can keep pace with the most demanding manufacturing cycles. Designed to thrive in harsh environments, it operates within a wide temperature range of -40 to 60 °C. Furthermore, the Wenglor OTDK502A0002 Reflex Sensor Energetic is equipped with comprehensive electrical protection, including short circuit and reverse polarity safeguards, ensuring a robust service life of up to 100,000 hours.
