DISTANCE SENSOR
The Wenglor P1KY10x high-performance distance sensor is
small, intelligent and efficient. With miniature dimensions
of just 32 x 16 x 12 mm, an IO-Link interface and ranges
of up to 1500 mm, the sensor offers a combination of
compactness and performance.
The sensor determines the distance between the sensor
and the object on the basis of transit time measurement.
Two mutually independent switching outputs and an IO-
Link interface permit multifunctional use for precisely as-
certaining the distance to an object, or for detecting the
object at any two switching points. This not only makes
it possible to implement complex applications such as
shelf-full messages and empty location checks in the field
of intralogistics, but also applications such as slow-stop
circuits in shuttle systems.
The large working range of up to 1500 mm assures top
performance in a miniature format and flexibility where
range is concerned — which is brought to bear in particular
in the field of handling and assembly technology. With a
current consumption of just 15 mA, the product is highly
energy efficient. The sensor’s integrated laser class 1 light
source is non-hazardous to the human eye. It also offers
insensitivity to extraneous light, highly visible status LEDs
and a weight of only 4 g.

PROBE
Dirty or damaged optical connectors greatly affect
network performance. Contamination, scratches
and chips on optical fibre connector end faces
reduce transmission quality and increase network
transmission errors leading to additional I&M work,
cost and missed schedules.
The Autofocus Video Inspection Probe G0382A
eliminates these issues by verifying the condition
and cleanliness of connector end faces during the
installation phase where they are easily corrected.
Complete connector inspection is performed quickly
and automatically with the press of a button includ-
ing: auto-focus, image cantering, analysis
and image capture. The detailed
pass/fail status as defined by IEC
61300-3-35 is displayed ensuring
quality and consistency from
connector to connector and
technician to technician. The
VIP also includes a green and
red LED indicator to quickly and
easily display the pass/fail status.
The compact and lightweight
Video Inspection Probe is supplied
with seven tips as standard. It can also be
optionally equipped with a MPO tip. The Autofocus
Video Inspection Probe G0382A is available for the
Network Master Pro MT1000A, Network Master Flex
MT1100A and Windows-based PCs.
