Time-of-Flight Sensors for Precise Distance Measurement – der wintec.
Time-of-flight (ToF) laser distance sensors with wintec (wenglor interference-free technology) have played a formative role in countless industries worldwide for over ten years. Thanks to integrated DS technology, the new generation of these sensors once again sets standards in terms of precision, performance, interference immunity, communication capability and robustness. The time-of-flight sensors, also known as laser distance sensors, detect objects regardless of color, gloss, surface structure and inclination angle.

wintec with DS Technology
(Dynamic Sensitivity).
Compared with traditional transit time technologies, the latest wintec generation uses “Dynamic Sensitivity” (DS) technology. The laser distance sensor emits very short laser light pulses in the nanosecond range, with signals that are statistically evaluated and thus produce the distance value to the object.
- Unrivaled reception sensitivity
- Large working range of up to 10,000 mm
- Reproducibility as low as 3 mm
- Highly insensitive to ambient light of up to 100,000 lux
- Insensitive to interference

Time of Flight Sensors in 316L Stainless Steel Housing
For extreme industrial environments, wintec is available in a high-quality stainless steel housing for the first time, which gives the position sensor even greater mechanical robustness at temperatures of −40 to +50 °C, as well as high chemical material resistance.
- IP69K degree of protection via laser-welded housing
- Resistant to cleaning agents with ECOLAB approval
- Corrosion-resistant housing made of stainless steel 316L (1.4404/V4A)
- Resistant to oils and lubricants

ToF Sensors for Performance and Precision
Transit Time Sensors for Safety and Reliability

Extremely High Resistance to Ambient Light
Thanks to DS technology, time of flight sensors are extremely robust against disturbing ambient light up to 100,000 lux – reliable operation is guaranteed even in strong sunlight.

Hiding Interferences
The transit time sensor also works reliably in dirty environments. Disturbing ambient conditions such as dust and chips can be hidden. Interference factors in the background, such as reflective high-visibility vests, also do not affect the laser distance sensor.

No Reciprocal Influence
The wintec with DS technology allows up to six sensors to be installed directly next to each other and even opposite each other without influencing each other.

Distance Sensors for Durability and Robustness

Durability
The wintec measuring sensor is resistant to cleaning agents thanks to its robust 316L (1.4404/V4A) stainless steel housing with ECOLAB approval and high IP69K degree of protection, making it ideal for the wash-down area in the food industry.

Robustness
Thanks to their robust stainless steel housing, time of flight sensors are resistant to oils and coolants, as well as impacts, and are therefore particularly durable. This makes them ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.

Resilience
The transit time sensor can efficiently withstand frequent and intensive cleaning with aggressive cleaning and disinfecting agents – even with high-pressure cleaning up to 100 bar and a water temperature of 80 ºC.

Protection
For applications in harsh environments with high levels of sparks – such as welding applications – the interchangeable PMMA lens with special coating provides increased protection of the distance sensor in a robust stainless steel housing. Lenses worn by welding spatter can be easily replaced. This means that no additional protective housing is required and the distance sensor does not need to be replaced.
