Wenglor YN44PA3 Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression

The reflex sensor with background suppression, also known as a retro-reflective sensor or optical sensor, with type number YN44PA3 from Wenglor is an electrical proximity sensor for non-contact object detection in automation technology. It reliably detects objects by determining the distance through angle measurement, enabling excellent object recognition against any background. It has the dimensions 9 x 2 x 3 cm and weighs 0.04 kg. Another part number for this product is 415460 from Polar. Typical applications include material flow control in conveyor technology and product positioning in packaging machines. This sensor is also used for precise object detection in robotics and assembly automation.

This is a reflex sensor with background suppression. It detects distance by measuring angles and is particularly good at recognizing objects in front of any background.
