W12-3
Photoelectric Sensors
More robust, more accurate, more intelligent
W12-3 – best performance in a met-
al housing, offering a clear advan-
tage over conventional opto -electronic
sensors in terms of object detection,
survival in industrial environments
and sensor monitoring.
W12-3 reliably operates under any
ambient conditions, in the temper-
ature range from –40 °C to +60 °C.
W12-3 meets the requirements of
IP 69K protection. The ECOLAB test
proves its high resistance to deter-
gents and disinfectants. Unwanted
ambient light sources such as ceil-
ing lights and optical refl ections are
identifi ed, assessed and suppressed.
W12-3 is protected effectively from
electromagnetic fi elds.
W12-3 adapts to your system. Rotat-
able plug or cable connections pro-
vides increased mounting options,
whilst common design features, such
as dovetail mounting, permit maxi-
mum fl exibility in selecting sensors.
Thanks to its slim-line housing design,
the W12-3 is easy to integrate.
Commissioning a W12-3 is quick
and easy. The easily visible 360°
status LEDs are useful aids to sensor
diagnostics during commissioning,
adjustment or when in operation. The
scanning distance is adjusted either
traditionally using potentiometers, or
via Teach-in. Place object in the beam
path, press button, ready.
WT12-3 with IO Link off ers expand-
able diagnostics. For example, the
scanner can be parametrized and
monitored via fi eld bus connection,
allowing reduced downtime during
product changeovers.
W12-3: convincing through variety.
Top sensor technology, ideally adapt-
ed to the individual application, pro-
vides solutions to a wide range of Au-
tomation technology tasks. Whether
in the packaging, pharmaceutical,
bottling or printing industry, W12-3 is
always the right choice.
