Overview 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 Your Benefit 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...
