W12

The W12-3 family features a complete range of photoelectric sensors that are enclosed in a metal housing. There are a large number of variations that are available, including proximity, retro-reflective, through-beam, special laser and clear material versions. These sensors offer many advantages over conventional optical sensors due to their reliable object detection and monitoring capabilities. Whether in packaging, pharmaceutical, or the food and beverage industries – the W12 family provides a solution for any application.

Features

  • Best-in-class optical performance due to superior OES technology
  • Autocollimation with retro-reflective sensors
  • Background and foreground suppression with second emitter LED on proximity sensors
  • Highly visible, precise light spot and high-energy IR transmitters
  • Rugged die-cast zinc housing, optional with Teflon® coating
  • Mounting options with through holes, base blind holes, oblong through holes and dovetail
  • Flexible sensor settings, monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and visualization thanks to IO-Link
