W16 Series Photoelectric Sensors


WLG16 – The highflyer in object detection


The WLG16 is used for the reliable detection of transparent objects. The Auto-Adapt technology automatically adjusts the switching threshold in the event of contamination or after cleaning.

Your benefits


• Reliable detection of transparent objects in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries
• AutoAdapt and continuous monitoring of the operating reserve via IO-Link protects from operational interruptions
• Free choice of sensor adjustment: Intuitively on the housing with selection of the object mode or conveniently via IO-Link with pushbutton lock for preventing manipulation
• Simplification when aligning the light beam to the reflector thanks to the PinPoint LED
• The Smart Sensor makes machine processes quicker, more efficient and transparent, enables predictive maintenance and is thereby a trailblazer for Industry 4.0 applications

Applications

• Packaging
• Food and beverage
• Handling and assembly
• Machine tools
• Storage and conveyor
• Rubber and plastics
• Wood
• Textile

Note

For retro-reflective sensors a suitable reflector is required.
For PL80A, PL30A & C110 reflectors see stock nos. 265-2776, 265-2760 & 265-2748 respectively.
