Sensors for the Washdown Area

The cleaning-resistant sensors are ideal for use in spraying applications in the food, beverage and packaging industries. Neither spraying water nor significant temperature changes impair the function of the robust wenglor sensors.
wenglor offers an extensive product portfolio of robust and corrosion-resistant sensors for the high hygienic requirements in the washdown area. Thanks to the high-quality stainless steel 316L housing and IP69K degree of protection, the sensors can be integrated into and on systems where they can withstand high-pressure cleaning and jet water at up to 100 bar and water temperatures of up to 80 °C. The sensors are also ECOLAB certified and therefore resistant to aggressive cleaning agents.

Photoelectronic Sensors

Photoelectronic sensors can detect or count objects contactlessly using light and also measure distances. The sensors in the stainless steel 316L housing have high thermal resistance and are insensitive to shocks and impacts. This means that objects are reliably detected in the immediate vicinity or at a great distance.
 
Photoelectronic sensors in the 2K miniature design are available as reflex sensors with background suppression, energetic reflex sensors, through-beam sensors, universal retro-reflex sensors and retro-reflex sensors for transparent objects. Depending on the intended use, sensors with different types of light, such as blue light, red light or red laser light, are available.

Laser distance sensors time-of-flight work with red lasers and detect objects regardless of their color or surface finish – even at extreme inclinations and at a distance of up to 10 meters.

Fork sensors enable reliable detection of transparent or extremely small parts (40 µm) and operate with a fine laser beam (Ø 0.35 mm over the entire fork width) according to the transmitter-receiver principle.

Applications with Photoelectronic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors icon

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors in the high-quality stainless steel 316L housing (1.4404) evaluate the sound reflected by the object. They can detect almost any object and are especially well suited for monitoring fill levels of liquids and bulk goods and for detecting transparent objects in rough and challenging environments, regardless of the material, state, color or transparency.
 
U2GT ultrasonic distance sensors are robust and corrosion-resistant sensors that withstand intensive and frequent cleaning and can be used in temperature ranges as low as –30 °C.

Ultrasonic Sensor Applications

Level Measurement of Spices

Challenge: Continuously monitor the level of spice mass in the container

Solution: U2GT ultrasonic distance sensors

Benefit: Permanent fill level monitoring in containers, detection of food regardless of color and medium

Inductive sensors icon

Inductive Sensors

Inductive sensors detect metal objects contactlessly through electromagnetic induction. The sensors in stainless steel 316L housing and with IP68 degree of protection are wear-free, watertight and resistant to contamination and vibration. They are ideal for use in areas with high mechanical requirements, as well as in cleaning-intensive applications, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Inductive Sensor Applications

Icona Sensori 2D/3D

Sensori di profilo 2D/3D

I sensori di profilo 2D/3D della serie weCat3D sfruttano il principio della triangolazione laser per la creazione di profili altimetrici 2D e nuovole di punti 3D. Con due tipi di luce laser (blu e rosso) disponibili in varie classi laser (1M, 2M, 3B e 3R), i sensori di profilo forniscono risultati precisi e di alta qualità. I sensori weCat3D con alloggiamento in acciaio inox consentono l’impiego affidabile della tecnologia laser ad alta precisione in settori di applicazione che richiedono un’intensa pulizia, come ad esempio l’industria alimentare.

Applicazioni con sensori di profilo 2D/3D

Tecnica di illuminazione

La tecnica di illuminazione è un componente cruciale nelle applicazioni di visione artificiale per produrre immagini ben illuminate e ad alto contrasto. La robusta tecnica di illuminazione con classe di protezione IP69K è perfetta per gli ambienti in cui sono necessarie lavaggi ad alta pressione ad alte temperature con l’uso di vapore e detergenti chimici.
 
Le illuminazioni a barre con classe di protezione IP69K sono adatte per applicazioni di elaborazione delle immagini industriali nell’industria alimentare, delle bevande e farmaceutica grazie alla custodia per uso alimentare.
