Description

The Wenglor TC55NA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor detects objects by analyzing the light reflected directly off their surface. This scanning method is exceptionally effective for detecting parts in mid-range applications. The inclusion of a visible red light source provides a significant advantage during setup, allowing technicians to align the sensor quickly and accurately without specialized tools.

Technical efficiency is at the heart of this model. It boasts a switching frequency of 500 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, enabling it to maintain precision even in high-throughput manufacturing processes. Designed to withstand rigorous industrial use, the sensor features a broad temperature range of -25 to 60 °C and is fully encapsulated to prevent ingress. Safety is prioritized through integrated short circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection, ensuring the Wenglor TC55NA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic remains operational for its intended 100,000-hour service life.
