In electronics production, miniature components like connectors or chips must be detected quickly and accurately during assembly. The WL100L-F1131 excels in these environments thanks to its tiny laser spot and high switching speed, ensuring reliable recognition of even reflective or low-contrast parts. Its compact housing fits easily into dense machinery layouts, helping manufacturers maintain precise part tracking and reduce assembly errors while keeping conveyor speeds high and consistent.
Clear containers often cause signal errors in traditional sensors due to light refraction and reflection. The WL100L-F1131 overcomes this challenge using a visible red laser beam that maintains accuracy with transparent or glossy surfaces. It quickly detects bottle presence, cap position, and fill levels even at high conveyor speeds. This allows packaging lines to run continuously without interruption, improving throughput and ensuring uniform product inspection across every batch.
In robotic automation, sensors mounted near the gripper must detect parts instantly to synchronize movement. The WL100L-F1131’s miniature form and rapid response time allow it to integrate directly into robotic arms, verifying object position within milliseconds. It handles metallic, dark, or shiny surfaces with ease, reducing missed picks and improving handling precision. This leads to faster operation cycles and higher efficiency in robotic assembly or material handling systems.
Fast-moving conveyor systems rely on precise sensing to prevent jams or product collisions. The WL100L-F1131 provides ultra-fast detection with a 0.25 ms response and 2 kHz switching frequency, ideal for monitoring packages, boxes, or materials in motion. Its durable IP65 housing withstands dust and splashes, ensuring dependable performance in warehouses and production lines. By offering stable long-range sensing, it keeps operations smooth and reduces unplanned downtime.
