Your Benefit

Reliable object detection over long sensing ranges and at large detection angles
Precise, simple adjustment using a potentiometer, teach-in button or display
Excellent functionality with IO-Link
The rugged VISTAL® sensor housing ensures high availability and a long service life
Suitable for a wide range of applications: the variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to cover a variety of detection requirements
Compact sensors allow for significant flexibility in machine design

PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensors combine powerful time-of-flight technology with compact sensor housings, giving machine designers maximum flexibility. They reliably detect objects that are traveling at high speed, small and flat objects, and jet-black or shiny objects at sensing ranges between 5 cm and 4 m, including at large detection angles. The WTT2SL, WTT4SL, WTT12L, WTT190L and WTT280L variants of the photoelectric sensors are designed to meet different requirements and provide the ideal solution to overcome any challenge.
