Overview At a glance Best background suppression sensor in its class Universal use of PinPoint technology in all models BGS proximity sensor with laser-like light spot for precise detection tasks Reliable setting via 5-turn potentiometer, teach-in pushbutton, teach-in via cable or IO-Link Flexible sensor settings, monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and display thanks to IO-Link Your Benefit Low-cost integration due to optimal machine integration in areas with limited space Application versatility due to reliable detection of shiny or jet-black objects Rugged mounting system with M3 threaded metal inserts reduces maintenance costs due to a long service life High immunity to ambient light reduces downtime caused by false trips Clearly visible light spot simplifies alignment IO-Link provides easy data access from the PLC Quick and easy configuration Quick and easy integration using function blocks The W4-3 family of photoelectric sensors offers best-in-class performance in a miniature housing design. Using the latest ASIC and PinPoint LED technologies, these sensors provide reliable object detection of transparent and glossy objects like blisters, e-cards and aluminum cans. Optical axes on the flat side enable simple, space-saving integration in machine environments - even without mounting brackets. Applications Checking of storage space occupancy Collision awareness at the machining table Complete monitoring of the load status by means of a photoelectric proximity sensor directly integrated into the load handling device Detection of paper edges Detection of solar wafers in harsh cell production environments Detection of solar wafers in harsh wafer production environments Detection, measurement, and positioning of the solar glass substrate Equidistant infeed of products Leading edge detection and presence checking Level monitoring in the parts bunker Monitoring the material transportation Paper tear monitor Positioning and speed measurement on the shuttle Presence ch...
