wenglor Presents P1XD Fiber-Optic Amplifier for Small Space Applications

Fiber-optic amplifiers from the wenglor sensoric group P1XD series impress with their compact format and outstanding flexibility, which enables easy integration into various applications. While adjustment can be carried out simply on the device, initial startup is quick and tool-free. Thanks to the modular principle, plastic and glass fiber-optics as well as various sensor heads can be combined easily, guaranteeing high adaptability. User-friendly operation using NFC, the weCon app or the integrated display on the sensor enables quick and intuitive configuration. Different functional principles are available, such as scanning, through-beam sensors and retro-reflex.

The dynamic readjustment of the P1XD series fiber-optic amplifiers ensures that the set switching distance is maintained. Contamination does not affect the performance of the optical fiber sensors. Thanks to the integrated jump detection, there is no need to learn about the environment, as signal jumps are reliably detected. The display supports intuitive operation. Low bending radius due to high-flex fiber optic cables, flexible mounting options and a comprehensive portfolio of sensor heads make fiber-optic sensors ideal for tight spaces. 

Pink Light Mode and Intelligent Multi-Unit Operation with the P1XD2 Series
Some variants of the P1XD series offer a significant increase in light output with the innovative pink light mode. The parallel connection of the red and blue emitter diodes increases the range. Pink light mode can be activated by pressing a button, IO-Link or NFC. The P1XD2 series models also offer the option of operating a fiber-optic amplifier as a stand-alone unit or in a multi-unit network as a master or sub-unit. During the boot process, the light guide sensor automatically detects which operation it is in and organizes the individual sensor units independently. This significantly reduces installation effort and minimizes error susceptibility. If requirements change, the fiber-optic sensors can be unplugged and used as stand-alone devices. The system therefore remains flexible at all times. 

The Highlights at a Glance:

• Easy configuration using display, NFC or via IO-Link
• Can be used in scanning, through-beam or retro-reflex principle
• Suitable for tight spaces, high temperatures and detection of smallest parts
• Innovative pink light mode to increase range
• Flexible use as a stand-alone unit or in a multi-unit combination
• Integrated IO-Link interface
