Wenglor P1NE202 Through Beam Sensor

Wenglor P1NE202 Through Beam Sensor represents a high-performance optical solution designed for long-distance object detection, utilizing a specialized Laser Red Light emitter and receiver pair to create an impenetrable light barrier. Unlike standard reflex sensors, the P1NE202 operates by detecting the interruption of a direct beam, ensuring maximum reliability even when monitoring dark, shiny, or transparent objects across large spans. With its integrated IO-Link interface and Laser Class 1 precision, this sensor provides superior switching accuracy and real-time diagnostic capabilities, making it an ideal choice for high-speed automated processes that demand consistent performance in challenging industrial environments.

Application of Wenglor P1NE202 Through Beam Sensor

High-Speed Counting: Tracks objects at extreme velocities thanks to a lightning-fast 0.2 ms response time.
Long-Range Detection: Monitors wide spans up to 20 meters, perfect for large entryways or wide conveyors.
Dark Target Reliability: Easily detects jet-black or non-reflective materials that “absorb” light from other sensors.
Web Break Monitoring: Instantly identifies tears or breaks in continuous materials like paper, foil, or textiles.
Contaminated Environments: Operates reliably through dust, steam, or oil mist due to high beam intensity (excess gain).
Precision Positioning: Uses a pinpoint laser spot to identify exact edges for accurate sorting and labeling.
Clear Object Sensing: Detects transparent glass or plastic by monitoring subtle light attenuation via IO-Link.
Predictive Maintenance: Issues “lens dirty” alerts through IO-Link to prevent unplanned production stops.
