In high-speed packaging systems, detecting thin or reflective foil materials is often unreliable with standard sensors. The WTF26P-24161420A00 overcomes this with its foreground suppression and PinPoint LED technology, ensuring stable detection even for glossy or transparent film layers. Its BluePilot Teach-Turn adjustment allows quick calibration when switching between product types, minimizing downtime. This accuracy ensures every package is counted and sealed correctly, maintaining production efficiency and reducing waste.
In logistics centers where pallets carry items of varying sizes, shapes, and reflectivity, traditional sensors struggle to maintain accuracy. The WTF26P-24161420A00, with IO-Link smart communication, provides precise object detection even when the background changes. Its IP69-rated enclosure and rugged housing withstand dust, vibration, and cleaning processes. By offering real-time feedback and diagnostic data, it reduces false readings and improves consistency in automated sorting or load verification systems.
Automotive production lines handle a mix of black plastic components and chrome metal fittings, both challenging for optical sensors. The WTF26P-24161420A00 excels here, delivering stable detection with its optical filtering and background suppression. It maintains consistent readings regardless of surface texture or color. With its fast 2.5 ms response time, it perfectly matches the speed of robotic pick-and-place systems, ensuring smooth automation without missed parts or stoppages.
In bottling operations, detecting clear PET containers and verifying cap placement requires pinpoint precision. The WTF26P-24161420A00’s focused red LED beam isolates transparent objects from shiny backgrounds, preventing false triggers. Its hygienic, chemical-resistant VISTAL® housing endures regular wash-downs, making it suitable for food-grade environments. This precision helps ensure continuous line performance, accurate fill checks, and reliable product quality in fast-moving beverage plants.
