Precise print mark detection for series processes: P1MW contrast sensors from wenglor

In modern series production, the reliable detection of print marks is crucial for efficiency, quality and process reliability. With the P1MW contrast sensors, the wenglor sensoric group offers a solution that is particularly suitable for series applications. The sensors can be integrated into existing production lines without any additional integration effort and immediately ensure stable processes, even at high belt speeds and large quantities.

The clearly visible white light and the precise monochrome evaluation ensure reliable contrast detection – regardless of color variations of the marks or different materials. Thanks to the integrated step detection and dynamic teach-in, the sensors automatically compensate for process-related deviations. This means that the P1MW delivers consistent results even with misalignments, changing mark colors or different batches, making it ideal for series production.

Optimized for series operation

Contrast markings control essential processes in series production, such as the cutting, folding, gluing or sealing of packaging material. The P1MW sensors reliably detect these marks so that production runs smoothly and without interruptions. Their compact M format with dimensions of 54.5 × 27 × 16 mm allows them to be used even in confined spaces in production lines. The dynamic teach-in ensures that the sensors learn during operation and adapt to new conditions, which makes initial start-up and retooling during series changes much easier.

The small, homogeneous light spot reliably detects even the smallest print marks, while the RGB status indicator directly on the sensor provides quick feedback on the operating status. This allows applications in series production to maintain an overview of the production process at all times.

Networked, flexible and resource-efficient

The IO-Link 1.1 interface allows process data to be read out and adapted, the sensor to be identified and parameters to be duplicated. All settings can be monitored centrally and adapted to changing production conditions using the free wTeach2 software. This combination of precise lighting technology, compact format, simple operation and smart networking makes the P1MW sensors a resource-efficient and reliable solution for series applications.

Thanks to the sophisticated design with just one operating button, integrated white light and dynamic teach-in, initial start-up in production lines is particularly fast and efficient – ideal for reliably meeting the high demands of series production.

Conclusion: Reliable performance for series processes

The P1MW contrast sensors from wenglor combine precision, efficiency and user-friendliness in an ideal way for use in series applications. They reliably detect print marks in high quantities, automatically adapt to process-related deviations and enable trouble-free operation in production. With their compact format, dynamic teach-in, step detection and IO-Link interface, the P1MW are the perfect choice for efficient, stable and flexible production processes.
