Wenglor P1PS101 Through Beam Sensor – 20m Range Emitter

The Wenglor P1PS101 Through Beam Sensor is a high-performance industrial emitter designed for reliable object detection at distances of up to 20,000 mm. Engineered with high light intensity, this sensor provides a massive switching reserve that ensures uninterrupted operation even in the most challenging industrial environments.

Description

The Wenglor P1PS101 Through Beam Sensor operates as a powerful emitter within a through-beam system, projecting a visible red light beam to its corresponding receiver. Its core technical advantage lies in its superior light intensity. This power allows the sensor to penetrate environmental interferences such as heavy dust, steam, or fog, maintaining high functional reliability where standard sensors might fail.

Beyond its optical strength, this sensor is designed for seamless integration and maintenance. The inclusion of a deactivation test input allows operators to verify the system’s logic and alignment without physical intervention. Mechanically, the device is fully encapsulated to protect against vibration and thermal shock. With a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 60 °C and an impressive service life of 100,000 hours, it offers long-term stability for any modern industrial infrastructure.
