When things get really tight in mechanical or plant engineering, compact and powerful fiber optic amplifiers are required. With the P1XD series, wenglor offers a sensor solution that provides maximum performance in a minimum of space – combined with intuitive operation, state-of-the-art technology and maximum flexibility.
The P1XD series fiber optic amplifiers impress with their modular design, which allows them to be individually adapted to a wide range of applications. Regardless of whether plastic or glass fiber optics, whether push-button, through-beam or reflex principle – the components can be combined easily, quickly and without tools.
Tip: High-flex fiber optics with a small bending radius are ideal for particularly tight installation situations. This means that the sensors remain flexible and reliable even in confined spaces.
Initial start-up is easy using the integrated display, via NFC or with the weCon app. This allows the fiber optic sensors to be configured intuitively – without additional effort or specialist knowledge.
Highlights of the series include dynamic readjustment, which ensures that the set switching distance remains constant – even in the event of contamination or changing ambient conditions. The integrated step detection automatically detects signal jumps, meaning that no manual teach-in is required.
Practical tip: The automatic readjustment of the fiber optic amplifiers reduces maintenance work and downtimes – a real advantage for production-critical systems.
The pink light mode is a technical highlight of the series: the combination of red and blue emitter diodes achieves a significantly higher light output. This significantly increases the range of the fiber optic amplifiers – ideal for applications with difficult surfaces or greater distances.
The pink light mode can be easily activated at the touch of a button, NFC or IO-Link, offering maximum flexibility in everyday life.
The P1XD2 series takes flexibility to a new level. These fiber optic amplifiers can be operated both as a stand-alone device and in a multi unit network. At start-up, the sensor automatically detects whether it is acting as a master or sub-unit and organizes communication in the network independently.
This reduces the installation effort, minimizes sources of error and enables modular expansion if requirements change. If a unit is required individually at a later date, it can simply be unplugged and operated separately – without any configuration effort.
Several fiber optic amplifiers are positioned next to each other and form a multi-unit sensor network in which a master and several sub units communicate directly with each other and transmit their signals via a single IO-Link cable.
The P1XD fiber optic amplifiers from wenglor combine a compact design, innovative technology and simple operation in a powerful overall system. Thanks to pink light mode, multi-unit operation and intuitive configuration, they offer maximum flexibility and reliability – perfect for applications with a small footprint and high precision requirements.
