With the new P1PC series, the Wenglor Sensoric Group is launching new laser distance sensors on the market, which are designed to enable precise measurements with high resource efficiency. The sensors are designed as an economical alternative to the existing P3 series.
The Wenglor Sensoric Group has expanded its portfolio of laser distance sensors with the new P1PC series. The sensors work according to the triangulation principle and are designed for a wide range of applications in industrial measurement technology. According to the company, the series delivers reproducible measurement results and is therefore also suitable for applications with high quantities and process reliability requirements.
According to Wenglor, commissioning and configuration are power-free and wireless via NFC using the weCon app. The P1PC series also has an integrated 7-segment display that shows the measured distance in real time and enables direct function control. Extensive sensor data is available via the IO-Link interface in version 1.1.4 to facilitate integration into networked production environments.
Suitable for dynamic processes
With a measuring rate of up to 2,500 measurements per second, the sensors are also suitable for fast and dynamic processes. The manufacturer also mentions functions such as integrated step detection and intensity evaluation, which open up additional application possibilities.
According to the company, one focus of the new series is on stable object detection regardless of the colour, brightness or reflectivity of the target. Reliable signal values are to be achieved even with changing materials or minor deviations. The sensors are designed in a compact 1P format and are intended for use in series machines.
Optional accessories such as protective glass, a dust tube or a stainless steel protective housing are designed to enable use even under demanding environmental conditions. Wenglor is thus positioning the P1PC series as a robust solution for precise measurement tasks while simultaneously reducing resources and costs.
