Wenglor ZW200PCT3 Through Beam Sensor | 60m Range & IP67

The Wenglor ZW200PCT3 Through Beam Sensor operates as the emitting half of a dual-component sensing system. By utilizing a separate emitter and receiver configuration, this through-beam technology provides the highest possible resistance to environmental interference. Unlike standard reflex sensors, the ZW200PCT3 maintains its signal integrity even in the presence of dust, steam, or ambient light, making it a reliable choice for challenging industrial settings.

Efficiency is at the core of its design. This sensor features a high switching frequency of 2,000 Hz and a lightning-fast response time of 250 µs, allowing it to track fast-moving objects with absolute precision. For advanced system integration, the built-in RS-232 interface enables users to parameterize the sensor digitally, including the configuration of on-delay and off-delay settings ranging from 0 to 5 seconds. Housed in a durable combination of PBT and V2A stainless steel, the unit is fully encapsulated to achieve an IP67 protection rating, ensuring it withstands moisture and dust in the most demanding conditions.

Description

The Wenglor ZW200PCT3 Through Beam Sensor is a high-performance industrial sensing solution engineered for long-range detection and uncompromising reliability. As the emitter component of a specialized light barrier system, it projects a powerful red light beam across distances of up to 60,000 mm, ensuring stable operation even in the most expansive factory layouts.
