Wenglor TC22PA3 Reflex Photoelectric Sensor Unit

The Wenglor TC22PA3 reflex sensor provides non-contact object detection at up to 200 mm, making it well suited for packaging lines, conveyors, and automated production equipment where stable switching and precise sensing of moving components are required. This industrial sensor uses energetic reflex sensing with an infrared light source and is housed in stainless steel with IP67 protection for demanding environments. It operates on 10–30 VDC and delivers a PNP normally open/normally closed output capable of 200 mA, with a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a 330 µs response time, enabling fast detection and reliable operation on high-speed lines. The unit features a 4-pin M12 connector and potentiometer-adjustable settings to tune sensitivity and range on installation time. Typical applications include material handling, packaging automation, and production equipment inspection where durable sensing and repeatable performance are critical. Common replacements include Wenglor P1KH013 Reflex Sensor, Banner Engineering QS18 Reflex Sensor, and Omron E3Z Photoelectric Sensor, underscoring its compatibility with standard industrial sensing ecosystems.
