Profile

Wenglor inductive sensors are suitable for a wide variety of applications thanks to the variety of designs, housing materials and operating principles in the range. They are characterized by their high switching distances. This allows various standard applications to be covered by just one design.Thanks to the lack of moving parts, these sensors are maintenance-free, wear-free, waterproof and resistant to dirt and shocks. They are short-circuit proof and can also be installed in any position. The service life of the sensors is not dependent on the switching frequency or number of measurement cycles.

Wenglor’s fluid sensor technology portfolio includes flow, pressure and temperature sensors. UniFlow Flow Sensors ascertain the speed at which media flow within closed systems and measure temperature as well. UniBar Pressure Sensors measure the relative pressure of any desired media in closed systems. UniTemp Temperature Sensors measure the temperature of liquid and gaseous media, and permit reliable temperature monitoring within processes.
Wenglor Fluid Sensors are based on a patented measuring process which is absolutely unique in the field of flow sensor technology. As a result, the products can be mounted without regard to position or flow direction, and deliver precision measurement results despite simple installation.

In addition to OCR Readers and the comprehensive VisionSystem+, the wenglor portfolio of image processing products also comprises the unrivaled weQube as Smart Camera or Vision Sensor.
The Smart Camera weQube and the Vision Sensor weQubeVision are based on the innovative wenglor MultiCore technology, which connects five high-performance processors with a novel software concept. The result is a unique product enabling ideal interaction of numerous functions and summarizing several process steps.
With MultiCore you will use Industrial Ethernet for the first time without losing time – the sensor continues to work with the same performance and speed during data communication via Industrial Ethernet as before.With innovative 3D Tracking MultiCore provides optimal object detection. Within the visible area, objects can be moved in any direction or vary in height while still being securely detected. 

Wenglor 1D/2D and barcode scanners use different types of light to read each code. The light is reflected from the code elements onto a picture element in varying degrees and the image of the code that this produces is evaluated electronically using a decoder. The scanner can be adjusted by pressing on the Auto button function, or externally via the interface.

Wenglor was the first manufacturer to integrate Realtime Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) into sensors. wenglor products are available with three globally established data protocols: PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP™. This allows them to be quickly and easily integrated into existing Ethernet infrastructures.

In this chapter you will find the correct components not only to mount and connect wenglor products but to also integrate them into automation processes.
