• Suitable for a wide range of applications: the variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to cover a variety of detection requirements
• Compact sensors allow for significant flexibility in machine design

PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensors combine powerful time-of-flight technology with compact sensor housings, giving machine designers maximum flexibility. They reliably detect objects that are traveling at high speed, small and flat objects, and jet-black or shiny objects at sensing ranges between 5 cm and 4 m, including at large detection angles. The WTT2SL, WTT4SL, WTT12L, WTT190L and WTT280L variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to meet different requirements and provide the ideal solution to overcome any challenge

Applications

• Empty bay and clearance detection
• Rapid counting in the packaging industry
• Precise edge detection in the timber industry
• Quality control for the automotive industry and its parts suppliers
• Handling and assembly
• Loop control
• Protecting doors and gates
• Suitable for use on industrial vehicles, including AGVs
