Description

The PONO WTA50-50M utilizes a 905nm Class 1 laser and time-of-flight (ToF) measurement principles to deliver precise, non-contact distance readings. Its high 2000Hz sampling rate ensures minimal latency for monitoring fast-moving objects or processes. The sensor’s internal signal conditioning provides stable performance across varying surface reflectivities.

Housed in a compact, IP65-protected enclosure, the sensor is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, including exposure to dust and water jets. The 12-30VDC wide-range power input and low 1.5W consumption make it energy-efficient and compatible with standard industrial power supplies and PLCs.

Key Features

  • High-performance 905nm Class 1 laser source for safe, eye-safe operation.
  • Ultra-fast 2000Hz measurement frequency enables real-time control and monitoring.
  • Robust RS485 interface supports Modbus RTU protocol for industrial network integration.
  • IP65 environmental protection rating for durability against dust and water ingress.
  • Wide 12-30VDC operating voltage range ensures compatibility with various power systems.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for demanding automation and robotics applications.
  • Compact 52mm x 44mm footprint and 72g weight for easy mounting in space-constrained setups.

Applications

  • Warehouse automation for pallet positioning, rack inventory, and AGV navigation.
  • Robotics for obstacle detection, bin picking, and precise end-effector positioning.
  • Industrial machining for tool height measurement, part presence verification, and conveyor belt monitoring.
  • Construction and surveying for leveling, volume calculation, and remote distance measurement.
  • Vehicle and mobile robot safety systems for collision avoidance and perimeter monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol and how do I interface with this sensor?

The sensor uses an RS485 interface supporting the Modbus RTU protocol. Connect the A and B data lines to your RS485 transceiver or PLC communication module. You will need to configure the sensor's Modbus address and baud rate (typically 9600, 19200, etc.) via its internal settings or configuration software to read distance registers.

What is the required power supply and how do I wire it?

The sensor operates on a wide 12 to 30 VDC power supply. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) power terminals to your DC source, ensuring correct polarity. The average current draw is approximately 46mA at 24V, with a peak of 100mA. Always use a stable, regulated power supply within the specified voltage range for reliable operation.

What surfaces or conditions can affect the sensor's accuracy and maximum range?

The sensor's 905nm laser can be affected by highly reflective or absorbent surfaces, which may reduce effective range or cause measurement errors. Performance is optimized for standard industrial materials. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets, but direct exposure to intense sunlight (over 100,000 Lux) or heavy fog/steam can interfere with the laser signal.

Can this sensor be used for safety-critical applications like emergency stop systems?

No. While the WTA50-50M provides high-speed, reliable distance data, it is a Class 1 laser product designed for measurement, not safety. It should not be used as the sole input for safety-critical functions such as emergency stops or personnel protection. For such applications, dedicated safety-rated laser scanners or light curtains must be used.
