Wenglor P1KH003 Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression

Description

The Wenglor P1KH003 Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression utilizes the advanced angle measurement principle. By working with visible red light, the sensor determines the presence of an object based on the angle of reflected light rather than mere intensity. This ensures that the sensor remains “blind” to backgrounds beyond the set focal point, allowing for highly reliable switching even when the background is reflective or cluttered.

A standout feature of the P1KH003 is its integrated IO-Link 1.1 interface. This digital protocol allows users to remotely configure essential parameters such as PNP/NPN logic, NC/NO switching, and precise switching distances. Beyond configuration, the sensor outputs real-time distance values and switching statuses, facilitating proactive condition monitoring. With a high switching frequency of 1,000 Hz and a robust IP67/IP68 plastic housing, this sensor is engineered for speed and durability in demanding automation tasks.
