The sender and receiver operate using a through-beam design and are in a single housing. No adjustments therefore need to be made. The sensors guarantee exceptionally high positioning accuracy and impress with their extremely fast response times and very fine resolution. As a result, the sensors are particularly suitable for detecting extremely small objects such as needles or wires. They are also recommended for the detection of transparent objects. A total of 21 WF Laser variants are available for use in a wide range of applications._x000D_ Applications_x000D_ Detecting small parts_x000D_ Detecting transparent objects_x000D_ Precise object positioning_x000D_ Checking presence and fill level in the singulation system_x000D_ Checking presence and monitoring accumulation on singulation conveyors_x000D_ Tip compensation_x000D_ Presence and backup monitorin_x000D_ Note_x000D_ Product details cover the whole product family.
