Type: Sensor
Introduction:
- Best background suppression sensor in its class
- Universal use of PinPoint LED technology in all models
- BGS proximity sensor with laser-like light spot for precise detection tasks
- Reliable setting via 5-turn potentiometer, teach-in pushbutton, teach-in via cable or IO-Link
- Flexible sensor settings, monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and visualization thanks to IO-Link
- Application versatility due to reliable detection of shiny, transparent or jet-black objects
- Very quick and easy alignment due to the highly visible, intense PinPoint LED light spot
- Rugged mounting system with M3 threaded metal inserts reduces maintenance costs due to a long service life
- Background suppression sensors with a laser-like light spot reduce costs and installation of additional protective measures by replacing laser sensors
- IO-Link provides easy data access from the PLC
- Quick and easy configuration
- Quick and easy integration using function blocks
- The W4S-3 family of photoelectric sensors offers best-in-class performance in a slim housing design. Universal use of the latest ASIC and PinPoint LED technologies provide maximum reliability in the detection of all objects, including transparent and shiny objects like blisters, e-cards and aluminum cans. Optical axes on the flat side enable simple, space-saving integration in the machine environment – even without separate mounting brackets.
- Access protection with muting on belt conveyors
- Checking presence and level monitoring in a vibratory bowl feeder
- Checking presence at the dispenser
- Integrated object and gap measurement when feeding products
- Reliable, cost-effective detection of secondary packaging in harsh environments
