Overview
Datalogic TL46-WL-815, 954601020
Contrast sensor 8mm. standard vertical spot remote input npn/pnp out - M12
The TL46 contrast sensorseries is characterized by excellent performances in terms of resolution due to a RGB LEDs emission, low response time and high switching speed. The sensor, developed in a sturdy metal housing with standard fixing, is available in 3 different version.
TL46-W basic version with 2 set push-buttons and 2 LEDs indicator, TL46-WL standard version has set 3 push-buttons, 4 LEDs indicator and bar graph is also available for manual setting of the threshold and TL46-WLF enhanced version presents a 4-digit display for the setting of the most advanced functions, such as dynamic acquisition of the contrast mark. The sensor reaches the maximum market performances at 30kHz switching frequency.
Features:
- RGB emission: high detection reliability and resolution
- Teach-in push-button and bar graph or display 4 digits indicator: fast and easy setting
- 30KHz switching frequency: precise and repeatability reading
- Rotatable M12 5-pole connector: adaptability to the mechanical part of the plant
Applications:
- Packaging lines
- Paper and Printing machines
- Automatic filling machines
