The fiber-optic amplifiers in the P1XD series are characterized by their compact design and high flexibility, which allows them to be easily integrated into different applications. Thanks to the modular design principle, plastic and glass light guides as well as different sensor heads can be easily combined, ensuring a high degree of adaptability. Different functional principles such as sensors with sensing principle, through-beam sensors and retro-reflex sensors make the fiber-optic amplifiers in the P1XD series the ideal choice for demanding tasks.

Highlights at a glance:

• The compact design is ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
• The unique, innovative pink light ensures increased light output.
• NFC, the weCon app or the integrated display on the sensor enable quick and intuitive configuration as well as user-friendly operation.
• The dynamic readjustment of a fiber-optic sensor automatically adjusts its switching threshold to changing conditions such as ageing, soiling or temperature fluctuations.
• With jump detection, the change in light intensity is evaluated to identify jumps in the signal. This function is particularly suitable for applications in which the objects to be inspected differ greatly.

The wenglor sensoric group offers all components of an image processing system to solve vision applications individually. Whether smart cameras or machine vision controllers or vision systems consisting of cameras and 2D/3D profile sensors - in addition to high-performance hardware, the powerful uniVision 3 software impresses with its high level of user-friendliness, performance and individual expandability. As an ecosystem for operating all wenglor hardware, it is flexibly scalable and evaluates all images and 2D/3D profiles in one system.

The highlights at a glance:

• With uniVision 3, images and profiles are evaluated in one system and all wenglor hardware is operated.
• In addition to numerous high-performance tools, modules such as “HALCON Script”, robot and RTE interfaces make uniVision 3 individually usable and even expandable as software.
• The new “Deep OCR” module integrates the latest deep learning technology for reading plain text.
• Machine vision controllers from the MVC series are suitable for demanding image processing applications and are characterized by their powerful i7 processor.
• Smart cameras from the B60 series with unique computing power and modular, tool-free expandable housing design.

The inductive ring sensors from the wenglor sensoric group reliably detect metallic objects such as screws, nuts or rivets in feed hoses. The use of correction factor 1 ensures reliable detection of all metallic objects from a minimum size of 2 mm. The separable housing with two-part coil allows the sensors to be mounted and removed quickly and easily at any point on the feed hose.

Highlights at a glance:

• Separable housing for quick installation and removal of the sensors on the hose.
• The cable outlet in the direction of the hose makes it easier to use in confined spaces and prevents the cable from kinking.
• The flexible soft binder allows the sensor to be securely attached to different hose sizes without deforming the hose, even in demanding environments with vibrations or compressed air.
• Thanks to the all-round visible LED display, the status and switching status can be recognized regardless of the installation position.
• Frequency switching allows several ring sensors to be operated in close proximity without them influencing each other.

2D/3D profile sensors from the weCat3D series measure objects such as weld seams or adhesive beads, take over the exact position control of robots and check roundness or gap dimensions using laser triangulation.

Highlights at a glance:

• With its compact housing and high resolution, the MLSL series is ideal for use in robot applications, but also for a variety of other applications with different measuring distances.
• The high-performance MLWL sensors offer outstanding accuracy in the detection of surface profiles over short and long distances with high resolution.
• The robust MLZL sensors ensure fully automatic weld seam tracking with precise path matching for excellent weld quality.
• The weCat3D sensors in stainless steel housings are extremely robust and resistant to cleaning agents thanks to their high IP69K protection rating, making them ideal for use in the food and washdown sectors.
• Profile sensors for bending machines enable reliable monitoring of bending angles during the entire bending process.
• The 2D/3D profile sensors of the S40 series offer maximum safety and efficiency in the application thanks to the safe laser switch-off, as the laser can be safely switched off and on without the sensor having to be switched off.
• For applications with special requirements, wenglor offers special solutions, such as UV lasers for transparent spotlights or extended measuring ranges for larger objects.

Time-of-flight sensors with wintec stand for reliability and efficiency in object detection. Thanks to DS technology, they effortlessly detect objects on all surfaces, regardless of whether they are dark, shiny or transparent. The latest generation of laser sensors, which work on the principle of time-of-flight measurement, are impressively user-friendly and intuitive to operate, which speeds up their parameterization. With a maximum range of up to 10 meters, they are the right choice for applications where measurements over long distances are required.

The innovative triangulation laser distance sensors of the P3 series deliver precise measurement results at distances of up to 1,000 mm - and accurate to within a few micrometers. However, it is not only the high accuracy that is world class, but also the intuitive operating concept, the high-quality aluminum housing and the integrated TripleA technology, which gives the P3 series its status as a game changer for triangulation sensors in industrial automation. With 32 model variants with red and blue lasers, the P3 laser distance sensors offer a solution for a wide range of challenges in the working range between 30 and 1,000 mm.

Further highlights:

• Reliable detection of transparent and very shiny objects
• Wireless configuration via app
