Product Portfolio

  • Sensors

  • Sensors are the sensory organs of smart machines. Thanks to a wide range of functional principles, they solve a variety of applications quickly, safely and sustainably. From photoelectronic sensors to ultrasonic sensors, inductive sensors and fluid sensors, as well as safety technology and software solutions for sensor operation and parametrization – the comprehensive portfolio offers the right solution for all types of factory automation. In addition to the wide range of functional principles, users also benefit from the broad selection of designs that enable the sensors to be installed in any industrial system.

      • Photoelectronic Sensors

      • Contactless Detection of Objects

        Photoelectronic sensors can detect or count objects without contact, measure distances and detect colors, gloss or luminescence using light. The additional connection of special fiber-optic cables permits their use in extreme conditions such as cold, heat or limited space.

          • Laser Sensors for Distance Measurement

          • Sensors in this category can detect or count objects without contact, measure distances, and detect colors, gloss or luminescence using light. The additional connection of special fiber-optic cables permits their use in extreme conditions such as cold, heat or limited space.

          • Reflex Sensors

          • In the case of reflex sensors, the emitter and the receiver are located in the same housing. The emitted light is reflected and recorded by the object, the evaluation is carried out according to the energy principle or via angle measurement. Objects can be detected with or without defined background.

          • Reflex Light Barriers

          • Reflex light barriers detect and control objects by evaluating the signal strength and the principle of angle measurement. Contamination and temperature fluctuations can be compensated for thanks to the dynamic readjustment of the switching threshold. Through teach-in, transparent objects with a defined background can also be detected without additional reflectors.

          • Retro-Reflex Sensors

          • Reflex light barriers and retro-reflex sensors work with different light sources, whereby the emitter and receiver are located in one housing. When the light beam between the emitter and the defined background or reflector is interrupted, a switching signal is output.

          • Through-Beam Sensors

          • Through-beam sensors detect and count small parts, detect the edges of objects and monitor passages in systems. The emitter and receiver are housed in separate housings according to the through-beam mode. The sensor switches as soon as an object interrupts the laser light, red light or infrared light.

          • Fork Sensors

          • Fork sensors work with either red light or a collimated laser light beam. The emitter and receiver are arranged opposite each other in a plastic or stainless steel housing. Fork sensors with collimated laser light beam are particularly effective for detecting the smallest objects or clear glass.

          • Fiber-Optic Sensors

          • Fiber-optic sensors are ideal for detecting small parts. They use plastic or glass fiber-optic cables, which can also be used in hard-to-reach places due to their high flexibility. Plastic or glass fiber-optic cables are connected to fiber-optic sensors for use in applications with limited space or high temperatures. They offer advantages such as high sensitivity, quick response time and robustness.

          • Light Curtains

          • Light curtains operate according to the retro-reflective or through-beam mode and consist of several beams arranged in a row and connected to one another. In industrial use, they are suitable for applications such as pick and place or for measuring tasks such as height or position checks.

          • Retro-Reflex Sensors with Light Band

          • Retro-reflex sensors with light band detect objects with variable edges, shapes and sizes. Thanks to the continuous, homogeneous laser light band, the sensor monitors a much larger area than a light barrier with a dot-shaped light spot. The light band can also detect small or translucent parts.

          • Sensors for Roller Conveyor Systems

          • Sensors for roller conveyor systems detect objects on electrically or pneumatically controlled conveyors. The format is specially adapted to the design of roller conveyors and is therefore safe from mechanical influences. The sensors are available with or without accumulation logic and as reflex sensors or light barriers with a reflector.

          • Contrast Sensors

          • Contrast sensors with switching or analog output measure the brightness of objects. Sensors with switching output compare the brightness level with a reference value in order to detect contrast marking, for example. Sensors with analog output provide the measured brightness as a proportional voltage signal in order to monitor brightness curves, for example.

          • Print Mark Readers

          • These sensors distinguish between up to 100 different gray tones and can detect print marks against any background – regardless of brightness or color values. Thanks to the durable white light LED, a light spot with high contrast resolution is produced. The setting is made using various teach-in modes.

          • Color Sensors

          • Color sensors analyze the finest color nuances in automated processes at high speeds and select colored objects based on previously defined reference colors. Thanks to the pulsed white light, the sensors are insensitive to ambient light.

          • Luminescence Sensors

          • Luminescence sensors emit UV light with a wavelength of 375 nm to illuminate luminescent materials. The sensors thus detect markings, for example on labels, which are not visible to the human eye.

          • Temperature Sensors for Contactless Measurement

          • Sensors of this type measure the temperature of objects contactlessly using infrared radiation – regardless of material, size and state of aggregation. Two switching outputs and an analog output enable the comparison of target/actual values as well as absolute measurements.

          • Gloss Sensors

          • Gloss sensors can differentiate between glossy and matte surfaces.

        • Ultrasonic Sensors

        • Ultra-Smart. Ultra-Strong. Ultrasonic.

          Ultrasonic sensors are suitable for detecting transparent, dark, glossy, reflective or porous surfaces. They can detect objects or liquids despite the presence of dirt, dust, mist or extraneous light. The measured values are determined by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves which are output as voltage or via IO-Link.

            • Ultrasonic Distance Sensors

            • Distance sensors are suitable for the detection, differentiation and measurement of objects by means of ultrasound. Different operating modes, such as synchronous, multiplex or through beam mode, can be set via the display or centrally via IO-Link, and different output variants and designs enable a wide range of possible applications.

            • Fork Sensors for Label Detection

            • Ultrasonic fork sensors detect labels on any carrier material regardless of color, transparency or surface quality. The label on the carrier material attenuates the ultrasound more strongly than the carrier material itself; a small gap is sufficient for differentiation. The setting is made via the teach-in key.

          • Inductive Sensors

          • Reliable Object Detection with Induction

            Inductive sensors detect metallic objects through electromagnetic induction. The many formats, housing materials and wide switching distances ensure a wide variety of applications. Due to the fact that no moving parts are used, these sensors are maintenance-free, waterproof and impervious to contamination and impacts.

              • Inductive Sensors with Standard Switching Distances

              • Inductive sensors with standard switching distances detect metal objects contactlessly using electromagnetic induction. Thanks to different ranges and different formats and housing materials, they detect the presence of moving parts even in the event of dirt or vibrations.

              • Inductive Sensors with Increased Switching Distances

              • Inductive sensors with increased switching distances offer up to three times the switching distances compared to standard inductive sensors. The integrated weproTec technology ensures fault-free operation of several sensors that are operated directly next to one another.

              • Inductive Sensors with IO-Link

              • Inductive sensors with IO-Link communicate from the field level to the control. Preventive maintenance is possible via a special diagnosis output. Variable switching distances and frequencies offer a wide range of applications. The sensor output (either PNP or NPN) can be programmed as NC or NO.

              • Inductive Sensors with Full-Metal Housing

              • Inductive sensors with full-metal housing made of stainless steel 316L (1.4404/V4A) are impact-resistant, resistant to chemicals and high water pressure (IP68/IP69K). The sensors with additional ATEX approval for 3G and 3D areas are suitable for applications with a high risk of explosion.

              • Inductive Sensors with Analog Output

              • Sensors of this type detect metallic objects and output the distance as a proportional voltage signal, even in dirty environments. The switching distance is identical on different metals, so the correction factor is 1. They also feature an almost linear output voltage.

              • Inductive Sensors Welding Field Resistant with Correction Factor 1

              • Sensors in this category detect objects of different metals with identical switching distance. Teflon coating protects the sensor from extreme effects during the welding process. The sensor is also very robust against magnetic direct and alternating fields.

              • Inductive Sensors with Selective Performance

              • Inductive sensors with selective performance can differentiate between ferromagnetic metals (e.g. iron or steel) and nonferromagnetic metals (aluminum, brass, copper and stainless steel). The functional principle allows contactless and thus wear-free detection and differentiation of objects.

              • Inductive Sensors for Extreme Temperature Ranges

              • These inductive sensors detect contactlessly metallic objects in extreme temperature ranges. With increased switching distances and a very robust design, the sensors are designed for a long service life of several years.

              • Inductive Ring Sensors

              • Inductive ring sensors enable precise and reliable detection of small metal parts from a minimum size of 2 mm in feed hoses. The sensors can be quickly and flexibly mounted and removed from the hose thanks to the separable housing.

                • Flow sensors operate according to the calorimetric principle and can be mounted independently of the current direction. weFlux² series models combine flow and temperature measurement; parameter settings or data transfer can be carried out via IO-Link.

                • Temperature Sensors

                • Temperature sensors measure and monitor liquid and gaseous media with high accuracy and fast response times. Modular designs and process connections allow them to be used individually. The weFlux² series features IO-Link for setting parameters.

                • Fill-Level Sensors

                • Fill-level sensors are integrated into processes that monitor liquids and solid media such as granules or powders. Two switching outputs provide independent signal values that are output when different media and states are detected.

              • Safety Technology

              • Safety technology for body, hand and finger protection is used to protect both man and machine.

                                        • Spot illumination is typically a highly focused light source, perfect for creating contrast on specific features from various working distances. Spots normally comprise of a small number of LEDs, this means they come in a small package that is easy to adapt into tight spaces whilst providing intense illumination exactly where it is needed. wenglor spot lights are designed to be easily integrated whilst providing bright and homogeneous illumination for image processing.

                                      • 1D/2D and Barcode Scanners

                                      • The scanners read all 1D and 2D codes using different types of light. The light arriving at and returning from the code is reflected to varying degrees on a specific receiving element, decoded electronically, and evaluated.

                                          • 1D Code Scanners

                                          • 1D code scanners use different technologies to read and decipher one-dimensional high-frequency barcodes. Variants with CCD line or laser technology offer precise reading results – even damaged or incomplete codes are decoded. Networking to control systems is possible via integrated industrial Ethernet interfaces.

                                          • 1D/2D Code Scanners

                                          • 1D/2D code scanners read printed, engraved, etched or directly marked codes at high speeds – regardless of the location, position or condition of the code. Data can be transferred via Industrial Ethernet and settings can be received via the intuitive user interface Weblink.

                                          • 1D/2D Handheld Scanners

                                          • Handheld scanners read all 1D/2D codes omnidirectionally, regardless of location and background. Decoding is indicated by vibration, acoustic or visual signals. The adjustment option between the near and far range accelerates the scan rate or increases the detection range. In addition to wired scanners, Bluetooth scanners are also available.
