W150: Miniature photoelectric
switch series with completely
integrated electronics
The W150 photoelectric switches
provide the system data and features
of standard photoelectric switches
without restrictions. The high scanning
ranges are a special focal point. W150
devices are always the right choice
when little space is available for
equipment mounting.
Consequently, they are especially
successful in the typical application
fields:
• Electronic components and printed
circuit production,
• Packaging and graphic arts
industries,
• Assembly and handling
technologies,
• Special mechanical engineering
tasks.
The W150 optics systems and their
ranges:
• WS/WE150 through-beam photo-
electric switch: 4.4 m, slotted
masks as accessory.
• WL150 photoelectric reflex switch:
2.4 m (PL80A), with polarizing filter.
• WL150 photoelectric reflex switch
with increased sensitivity:
0.7 m, especially for detecting
transparent objects such as glass
and film.
• WT150 photoelectric proximity
switch, energetic: scanning
distance = 250 mm (90%
reflectance), for standard scanning
jobs. With background
suppression: scanning distance =
100 mm, adjustable; for reliable
operation even with otherwise
interfering background influences.
All electrical and mechanical values
fulfill the standard for adjustable
potentiometers, IP 67,
VS= 10 ... 30 V DC, PNP or NPN
switching output, M8 plug or cable.
The visible red light of the transmission
LED simplifies handling additionally.
