Wenglor P1KT004 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 400mm Range

Description

The Wenglor P1KT004 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the light reflected directly off the target object is used to trigger a switching signal. This makes it particularly effective for detecting a wide range of materials and surface textures within its 400 mm functional range. Its visible red light source simplifies the alignment process during installation, allowing maintenance teams to quickly calibrate the unit without specialized tools.

Performance and reliability are central to the design of the Wenglor P1KT004 Reflex Sensor Energetic. With a high switching frequency of 1000 Hz and a rapid response time of 0.5 ms, it handles fast-moving parts with consistent precision. The sensor is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, featuring a broad operating temperature range of -40 to 60 °C and full encapsulation. It also incorporates essential electrical safeguards, including short circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection, ensuring a maintenance-free service life of up to 100,000 hours.
