Reflex Sensor | YM22PA2 | WENGLOR

Brand:  Wenglor

Model:  YM22PA2

Type:    Sensor

The Wenglor Sensor YM22PA2 is a Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression. This type of sensor is designed to detect distance by measuring angles. It is particularly adept at recognizing objects against any background. The color, shape, and surface characteristics of the object have practically no influence on the sensor’s switching performance. This makes it a versatile tool in various applications where precise distance measurement is required.

The sensor has a range of 200 mm, with an adjustable range of 35 to 200 mm. This flexibility allows it to be used in a variety of settings, from close-range applications to those that require a bit more distance. It uses a red laser light source with a wavelength of 650 nm. The light spot diameter is 1 mm at a distance of 120 mm. This small light spot diameter allows for precise detection and measurement. The sensor can operate in ambient light up to 10000 Lux, making it suitable for use in brightly lit environments.

The supply voltage for the sensor is 10 to 30 V DC. This wide range of supply voltage makes it compatible with various power sources. It has a current consumption of less than 20 mA at 24 V, which means it is energy efficient. The sensor has a switching frequency of 1600 Hz and a response time of 313 μs, allowing for quick and accurate readings. It operates within a temperature range of -25 to 60 °C, making it suitable for use in a variety of environmental conditions.

Using a potentiometer, one can adjust the sensor settings easily and precisely. The sensor’s housing material, plastic, fully encapsulates it, providing protection for its internal components, ensuring longevity and reliability. With an IP67 degree of protection, the sensor is dust-tight and capable of withstanding temporary immersion in water. It features a common connection type for industrial sensors, M12 × 1; 4-pin.

In conclusion, the Wenglor Sensor YM22PA2, with its adjustable settings via potentiometer, plastic housing for protection, and IP67 degree of protection, offers versatility and reliability. Its precise detection capabilities, alongside its sturdy construction and user-friendly interface, render it indispensable for accurate distance measurement in various settings.
