Technical Datasheet: wenglor P1KY001

Part Number / Type: P1KY001

Product Category: Laser Distance Sensor (Laserdistanzsensor)

Measurement Principle: Transit Time / High-Precision Optical Distance Determination

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Miniature Laser Distance Sensor.

• Measuring Range: 0…1000 mm (0 to 1 meter operational scanning window).

• Light Source: Laser (Visible red light, Laser Class 1—completely eye-safe during standard operation).

• Housing Design: Ultra-compact rectangular miniature block profile with diagonal corner mounting holes.

• Special Features: Part of wenglor’s high-performance miniature optical sensor families. It provides high precision independent of the target object’s color, texture, or angle of approach. Perfect for tight installation spaces in robotics grippers, fill-level detection, precision part thickness tracking, and automated small-part positioning loops.

2. Electrical Data

• Operating Voltage: 10…30 V DC

• Electrical Design: DC PNP

• Output Function: PNP NC + NO (Antivalent/complementary dual outputs, offering both Normally Closed and Normally Open switching loops simultaneously).

• Approvals: CE Certified, UKCA, cULus Listed.

3. Performance & Protection Data

• Short-Circuit Protection: Yes

• Reverse Polarity Protection: Yes

• Overload Protection: Yes

• Laser Safety: Class 1 (EN 60825-1)

• Switching Frequency: High cyclic response speed optimized for immediate distance feedback, quick counting, and dynamic sorting channels.

4. Mechanical & Environmental Data

• Dimensions: Miniature block structure optimized for maximum space-saving machine integration.

• Housing Material: High-grade robust industrial polymer compound.

• Country of Origin: Made in Romania (partially visible on box flap).

• Batch / Reference Identifier: 524R/F/1326405 (indicated on the housing and box label).

• Manufacturer: wenglor sensoric GmbH, Germany.

5. Electrical Connection & Wiring Layout

The sensor features an integrated downward-facing male circular quick-disconnect thread terminal hub (M8 × 1 configuration).

Standard Pinout Mapping (wenglor P1K Series Standard 4-Pin):

• Pin 1: Brown wire reference $\rightarrow$ + Supply Voltage Input (10…30 V DC)

• Pin 2: White wire reference $\rightarrow$ NC Output (Normally Closed PNP switching signal to load)

• Pin 3: Blue wire reference $\rightarrow$ – (0V Ground / Common Reference Line)

• Pin 4: Black wire reference \rightarrow$ NO Output (Normally Open PNP switching signal to load)
