Wenglor X1TA101MHV80 distance measurement sensor

The Wenglor X1TA101MHV80 distance measurement sensor uses the transit-time measurement principle to measure the distance between the sensor and the object.

The sensors have scratch-resistant optics and the emitted light can be switched off. Using a suitable reflector at the object, a highly accurate position measurement at large distances is also possible. Configurations are selected using an onboard menu and can be protected by a password.

The transmitter and the receiver are integrated into a single housing. As the sensors measure the distance between the sensor and the object and utilise the principle of transit-time measurement, the object’s colour, shape and surface characteristics have practically no influence on measurement results. Even dark objects can be reliably recognised against bright backgrounds.

The sensors’ measuring range is determined by object remission and the size of the reflector (if used). Maximum range of the X1TA101 series is up to 100 m on four RQ100BA reflectors, or up to 30 m on a plain 200 x 200 mm reflector sheet.

The sensors work on a power supply of 18 to 30 VDC and the configuration can be easily set using the three onboard buttons and screen, including a password (PIN). The sensor offers analog output (0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA).

All settings can also be configured using a PC and uploaded to the device via an RS232 interface. The sensor can be used for zone control in the robotics, manufacturing, packaging, mining, materials handling and component assembly industries.
