Precision with a clear view: Time-of-flight sensors with wintec and display

Precise, robust and intuitive – wenglor’s time-of-flight sensors with wintec technology have long since established themselves in industrial practice. What makes the P1PY2 series so special is not only its outstanding measuring accuracy over long distances, but above all its simple and clear operation thanks to the integrated OLED display. The wintec series is often the first choice when ease of use and maximum precision are important.

With their Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology and the innovative wenglor-interference-free-Technology (wintec), the Laser Distance Sensors have been shaping industrial applications around the globe for over ten years.

Intuitive operation – the display makes all the difference

Time-of-flight sensors (ToF sensors) are based on a high-precision optical measuring method: The transit time of an emitted laser beam is measured to determine the exact distance to an object. wenglor combines this technology with its in-house wintec technology (wenglor-interference-free-Technology) to ensure maximum measurement stability – even with difficult surfaces or changing light conditions.

The special feature: The integrated OLED display makes operating the sensor particularly easy and efficient. Applications can see all relevant information at a glance – from the current distance value to signal strength and configuration settings. Changes can be made directly on the device without additional software or external tools. This saves time during initial start-up and reduces sources of error.

The display also offers real added value during operation. It shows clearly and with high contrast whether the sensor is working correctly or whether an adjustment is necessary. Especially in production environments with many sensors, this direct visual inspection ensures greater safety and faster fault diagnosis – an invaluable advantage in everyday life.

Reliable measurement results under all conditions

The wenglor Time-of-Flight sensors with wintec have been developed for tough industrial use. With an ambient light resistance of up to 100,000 lux, they deliver reliable results even in direct sunlight or intense hall lighting. The high reproducibility of just three millimetres ensures that measurements remain stable at all times – regardless of material, color or surface finish.

Thanks to their robust design and compact dimensions, the sensors are also suitable for tight installation situations. They can be easily integrated into existing control systems via IO-Link, while Bluetooth and the weCon app enable convenient, wireless configuration. This makes it easy to adjust settings even in hard-to-reach places – a plus point for maintenance and initial start-up alike.

Visible efficiency thanks to intelligent sensors

In practice, ToF sensors from wenglor are used wherever distances need to be detected precisely and without contact – for example in automation, conveyor systems, position monitoring or quality assurance. The interplay of modern measurement technology and intuitive indicators creates a system that focuses on efficiency, control and transparency.

The display acts as a control center on the sensor itself: It visualizes what the sensor “sees” – and makes measuring processes tangible. This combination of intelligent technology and direct feedback increases productivity, as settings can be made more quickly and errors can be detected immediately.

Conclusion: Proven technology with a clear advantage

The time-of-flight sensors with wintec impress with precise laser technology, robust construction and an intuitive OLED display and combine reliability, user-friendliness and smart functionality in one device.

So if you are looking for a ToF sensor that not only measures precisely, but also works visibly more intelligently, you will find the perfect solution in the wintec series from wenglor – a sensor that makes efficiency measurable.
