Wenglor P1KY10x distance sensor

Click2Contact

The Wenglor P1KY10x high-performance distance sensor is small, intelligent and efficient. With miniature dimensions of just 32 x 16 x 12 mm, an IO-Link interface and ranges of up to 1500 mm, the sensor offers a combination of compactness and performance.

The sensor determines the distance between the sensor and the object on the basis of transit time measurement. Two mutually independent switching outputs and an IO-Link interface permit multifunctional use for precisely ascertaining the distance to an object, or for detecting the object at any two switching points. This not only makes it possible to implement complex applications such as shelf-full messages and empty location checks in the field of intralogistics, but also applications such as slow-stop circuits in shuttle systems.

The large working range of up to 1500 mm assures top performance in a miniature format and flexibility where range is concerned — which is brought to bear in particular in the field of handling and assembly technology. With a current consumption of just 15 mA, the product is highly energy efficient. The sensor’s integrated laser class 1 light source is non-hazardous to the human eye. It also offers insensitivity to extraneous light, highly visible status LEDs and a weight of only 4 g.
