In the food and packaging industries, production facilities must be regularly cleaned with high pressure and aggressive cleaning agents. The high requirements in washdown areas also apply to the sensors installed in the systems. The Wenglor 2K series optical sensors with 316L stainless steel housing (1.4404/V4A) meet these requirements due to their high IP69K protection class and ECOLAB certificate.

Mounted in a compact miniature housing (35.5 × 18.5 × 17 mm), the photoelectronic sensors are also suitable for applications in mechanical and plant engineering. With their robust design, the sensors are also resistant to coolants and lubricants.

A calibrated switching point and an aligned optical axis are designed to ensure precise photoelectronic performance and easy integration, adjustment and commissioning. Due to the laser class 1, which is harmless to the human eye, the small sensors are also suitable for moving system parts such as robot arms. The integrated IO-Link interface also enables intelligent communication and configuration at the push of a button.

The small 2K design is available for six functional principles: energetic reflex sensors and reflex sensors with background suppression, universal retro-reflex sensors, retro-reflex sensors for transparent objects, through-beam sensors and long-range laser distance sensors. All are now available in stainless steel 316L and three light sources are available: red light, blue light and laser light.
