The HW11PA3 Wenglor Electronic Background Suppression device provides detection up to 120 mm sensing range in industrial automation systems. It operates on 10–30 V DC supply and delivers 600 Hz switching frequency with 833 µs response time. As part of the PK Series, this model supports PNP NC and PNP NO outputs. The HW11PA3 Wenglor Electronic Background Suppression sensor ensures controlled object detection with defined hysteresis below 5%.
In conveyor systems, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and automated machinery, the HW11PA3 enables precise detection within its 35–120 mm adjustable range. Electronic background suppression helps maintain stable sensing even when background surfaces are present. With IP67 protection and combined stainless steel V2A and PBT housing, it withstands dust, vibration, and moisture in Indian industrial environments.
The HW11PA3 from Wenglor maintains electrical efficiency with less than 30 mA current consumption at 24 V DC. As a PK Series device, it integrates into PLC-based control architectures using standard M12 connectivity. The HW11PA3 Wenglor Electronic Background Suppression sensor provides reliable detection performance for engineers requiring stable switching response and durable housing construction in industrial automation applications.
