Photoelectric sensors
W2S-2

Your Benefits

  • Machine design flexibility: the ultra-compact sensors offer above-average sensing distances and provide space-saving installation
  • Remote setup: sensors installed in confined spaces can be set and monitored remotely via IO-Link.
  • High operational reliability: ultrablack objects are detected with a degree of reflection of 1%
  • Maximum reliability during object detection and option of a space-saving machine design without reflectors or through-beam systems
  • Quick and easy commissioning: the photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation provides a clearly visible light spot for high process reliability
  • Universal application options: wide range of models enclosed in a rugged housing
  • Proven mounting and housing design

W2S-2

Overview

Developing lighter, more compact, and more intelligent machines. The incredibly small latest generation W2S-2 miniature photoelectric sensor offers completely new machine design possibilities. Intelligent features: the sensors feature background suppression that enables detection of black objects with a degree of reflection of 1%. The W2S-2 also offers world-class sensing distances in this housing size.

Whether it is used in machines in the pharmaceutical industry, in logistics handling applications or in automatic assembly equipment, the ultra-compact W2S-2 offers optimal performance and high reliability in industrial environments. Industry 4.0 is already on board: Both the sensing distance as well as continuous monitoring are set via the controller. The W2S-2 reduces the load on the machine control by using a counter, timestamp and false tripping suppression functions.

Programmable sensors, adjustable via a 3-turn potentiometer, and sensors with fixed sensing distances of 15 mm, 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm are also available.

At a glance
  • Sensor with background suppression and without any significant black/white shift
  • PinPoint 2.0 LED with extended sensing distances and high operating reserves
  • A variety of application possibilities thanks to clearly-defined laser-like or line-shaped light spots
  • Detection of highly-transparent and reflective objects using sensors with V-optics
  • Photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation and a clearly visible light spot
