Wenglor P1KE013 Through Beam Sensor | Laser Class 1

Description

Operating with a highly focused red laser beam, this sensor system utilizes a specialized transmitter and receiver configuration to deliver maximum accuracy over an impressive range of up to 10,000 mm. The class 1 collimated laser provides exceptional reliability and rapid response times without compromising workplace safety, ensuring seamless detection of micro-components in fast-paced production environments.

To guarantee continuous operational integrity, the sensor is equipped with a dedicated test input that allows engineers to temporarily deactivate the transmitter and verify system functionality on demand. Furthermore, the built-in IO-Link 1.1 interface elevates your smart factory operations. This interface empowers users to effortlessly configure essential parameters such as PNP/NPN outputs, NC/NO states, and switching distances, while simultaneously enabling the continuous read-out of switching statuses and signal values for proactive condition monitoring.
