In high-speed packaging lines, detecting shiny or reflective products on stainless steel conveyors can be challenging. The WTV4FE-84161120A00 solves this with its V-optics and background suppression, allowing it to clearly differentiate objects from reflective surfaces. Its PinPoint LED provides a sharp visual beam for easy alignment, ensuring consistent performance even under changing light conditions. With rapid response and IO-Link monitoring, the sensor helps maintain production accuracy and prevents miscounts on fast-moving conveyor belts.
Transparent materials such as label films or protective wraps often cause false detections in automated packaging systems. This sensor overcomes that issue by focusing only on the object’s reflection while ignoring backgrounds or rollers. The adjustable sensing range and fast switching frequency ensure stable readings even with ultra-thin or clear films. Its compact design fits seamlessly into limited spaces on labeling machines, ensuring precise feed control and reducing downtime from feeding errors.
Electronics production lines require accurate detection of small components placed in trays or carriers. The WTV4FE-84161120A00’s 0.1 mm detection capability makes it ideal for verifying part presence without interference from glossy or dark PCB surfaces. The IP67-rated housing withstands solder fumes and cleaning sprays, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. Its 500 µs response time supports fast pick-and-place cycles, improving assembly speed and minimizing quality control failures due to missing components.
In solar and glass processing, identifying the thin edge of reflective glass substrates is crucial for precise positioning. The WTV4FE-84161120A00 delivers reliable detection even on high-gloss surfaces, unaffected by glare or ambient light. Its compact flat housing allows installation near cutters or robotic grippers. Combined with IO-Link diagnostics, operators can monitor real-time performance and alignment accuracy, improving process efficiency and reducing the risk of breakage or misalignment during handling.
