PowerProx
Your Benefits
- Reliable object detection over long sensing ranges and at large detection angles
- Precise, simple adjustment using a potentiometer, teach-in button or display
- Excellent functionality with IO-Link
- The rugged VISTAL® sensor housing ensures high availability and a long service life
- Suitable for a wide range of applications: the variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to cover a variety of detection requirements
- Compact sensors allow for significant flexibility in machine design



Overview
PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensors combine powerful time-of-flight technology with compact sensor housings, giving machine designers maximum flexibility. They reliably detect objects that are traveling at high speed, small and flat objects, and jet-black or shiny objects at sensing ranges between 5 cm and 4 m, including at large detection angles. The WTT2SL, WTT4SL, WTT12L, WTT190L and WTT280L variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to meet different requirements and provide the ideal solution to overcome any challenge.
- Time-of-flight technology
- Laser class 1, red and infrared light
- Sensing range: 5 cm to 4 m
- Very small background range: 6 mm
- Switching frequencies of up to 1,000 Hz
- The option of up to three adjustable digital outputs or one IO-Link analog output: for up to eight switching points, distance value and smart sensor functionality
