Overview


The W4S-3 family of photoelectric sensors offers best-in-class performance in a slim housing design. Universal use of the latest ASIC and Pinpoint LED technologies provide maximum reliability in the detection of all objects, including transparent and shiny objects like blisters, e-cards and aluminium cans.

Optical axes on the flat side enable simple, space-saving integration in the machine environment - even without separate mounting brackets.
