WTT280 PowerProx

High-performance photoelectric proximity sensor for use with large sensing distances

 

WTT280 PowerProx photoelectric proximity sensors are characterized by their large sensing distance of up to 4 m which can optionally be extended to 18 m. A sensor variant with 2 switching points is available on request. For easy operation, a potentiometer and indicator LED is assigned to each switching point in this variant. The quickly adjustable sensing distance and a bright status indicator ensure ease of use. The well visible, uniform light spot also helps make sensor alignment easy. The integrated protection system prevents interference caused by reflections from shiny metal surfaces, windows or safety vests. This makes it possible to also mount two sensors opposite one another.

ADVANTAGES
Large sensing range in a small housing
The PowerProx detects large areas at a maximum distance of up to 4 m. The sensors are resistant to background reflections and therefore offer maximum reliability. In addition, the compact housing makes the PowerProx a space-saving detection solution for large distances.


The ideal solution for space-saving use in grippers and robotic elements


Top performance for occupied bay and clearance detection thanks to IO-Link and up to eight switching points


High performance even in tight spaces: Perfect for compact AGV applications

Impressive detection: Even at large distances and with ambient light exposure, the PowerProx detects objects reliably.

Exact detection results in any position
More power isn’t possible: The PowerProx achieves outstanding detection results thanks to excellent optics and beam paths. Extreme angles and changing object surfaces are also no problem. The receiver elements of the photoelectric sensor are resistant to background reflections and ambient light.


Ideal for use in mounting technology thanks to precise detection and distance measurement


Reliable quality control thanks to high repeatability - even if the surface quality changes

Very high precision: The PowerProx delivers reliable detection results even with jet-black, glossy or changing object surfaces as well as very small and flat objects

Adapted specialists for any application
Everything under one “roof”: With the PowerProx, high-precision time-of-flight technology is now available for a wide spectrum of applications for the first time. The reliable detection of very small objects, fast processes or detection over large sensing ranges is no problem for the PowerProx. Corresponding variants offer maximum detection reliability for objects with strongly reflective surfaces. And when space is tight, the very compact WTT2SL and WTT4SL variants ensure maximum performance in a miniature format.


Precisely detects the smallest objects, pockets or recesses


Quick signal processing and high switching frequency for quick processes


With an up to 4 m sensing range, the PowerProx keeps a close eye on even far-away objects

Maximum flexibility: The PowerProx has the right sensor solution for any range of applications, no matter whether very fast, accurate detection or detection at large sensing ranges is required

Reliable detection at high speeds
Processes are getting faster and faster in countless industries. The high switching frequency and quick signal processing of the PowerProx enables powerful detection even at high tempos. In doing so, the photoelectric sensor laser beam detects even high-gloss or jet-black objects at large detection angles.
Edge detection in high speed applications due to switching frequencies of up to 1,000 Hz and the high-precision laser beam

Very fast tempo: The PowerProx reliably detects objects and edges with nearly no delay, even at high process speeds in production and logistics.
