Description Of Wenglor EW98PC3 Through Beam Sensor
The Wenglor EW98PC3 Through Beam Sensor is an infrared beam transmitter and receiver sensor used for accurate object detection in industrial applications.
The sensor works on the through beam principle, where a beam of light is emitted from the transmitter to the receiver, and objects that block the beam are detected with speed and precision. With its rugged design and advanced technology, the sensor is suitable for a wide range of industrial environments, including manufacturing automation, packaging and conveyor systems.

Applications of Wenglor EW98PC3 Through Beam Sensor
Overhang Monitoring in Pallet Warehouses Using Through-Beam Sensors
In automated pallet warehouses, pallets are transported and placed on several rack levels by forklift trucks. The lanes must be clear at all times, otherwise there is a risk of collisions. Through-beam sensors are installed at the outer ends of the high-bay racks on all levels to detect protruding pallets immediately. Even in the event of interference factors such as dust, dirt or ambient light, the light barriers with red light reliably switch over long distances.
