Overview W100-2 miniature photoelectric sensors are compatible with all standard detection principles (through-beam photoelectric sensors, photoelectric retro-reflective sensors, photoelectric retro-reflective sensors for detecting transparent objects, energetic sensors, and sensors with background blanking), making them an ideal sensor family for detection applications. The housing design includes M3 threaded mounting holes, spaced one inch apart, that allows for straight forward, standardized, and inexpensive mounting. As a result, the W100-2 product family offers an economical photoelectric sensor solution with outstanding performance.
