Wenglor TW66PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic | 400mm Range

Description

The Wenglor TW66PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic operates on the energetic scanning principle, where the sensor detects objects by evaluating the light reflected directly from the target’s surface. This scanning method is exceptionally effective for detecting parts in mid-range applications up to 400 mm. The visible red light source provides a significant advantage during the commissioning phase, allowing technicians to align the sensor quickly and precisely without the need for specialized tools.

Technical reliability is a core feature of this model. It boasts a switching frequency of 500 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, enabling it to maintain peak accuracy even in high-throughput manufacturing processes. Built to withstand rigorous industrial conditions, the sensor is fully encapsulated and operates within a broad temperature range of -25 to 60 °C. Integrated electrical safeguards, including short circuit and reverse polarity protection, ensure the Wenglor TW66PA3 Reflex Sensor Energetic delivers consistent performance throughout its 100,000-hour service life.
