Overview


The WL8G is a high-quality, miniature retro-reflective clear material photoelectric sensor for detection of transparent objects in close-range applications. Autocollimation optics enable the reflector to be positioned as close to the sensor's front face as necessary. The housing design, with M3 threaded mounting holes, ensures easy and secure installation.
