Introduction:

  • Best background suppression sensor in its class
  • Universal use of PinPoint LED technology in all models
  • BGS proximity sensor with laser-like light spot for precise detection tasks
  • Reliable setting via 5-turn potentiometer, teach-in pushbutton, teach-in via cable or IO-Link
  • Flexible sensor settings, monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and visualization thanks to IO-Link
  • Application versatility due to reliable detection of shiny, transparent or jet-black objects
  • Very quick and easy alignment due to the highly visible, intense PinPoint LED light spot
  • Rugged mounting system with M3 threaded metal inserts reduces maintenance costs due to a long service life
  • Background suppression sensors with a laser-like light spot reduce costs and installation of additional protective measures by replacing laser sensors
  • IO-Link provides easy data access from the PLC
  • Quick and easy configuration
  • Quick and easy integration using function blocks
  • 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 aluminum cans. Optical axes on the flat side enable simple, space-saving integration in the machine environment – even without separate mounting brackets.
  • Access protection with muting on belt conveyors
  • Checking presence and level monitoring in a vibratory bowl feeder
  • Checking presence at the dispenser
  • Integrated object and gap measurement when feeding products
  • Reliable, cost-effective detection of secondary packaging in harsh environments
