Keyence LR-WF10 White LED Sensor 2m Cable

Keyence LR-WF10 Fiber-Type Color Sensor for Remote Detection

Product Introduction

The LR-WF10 belongs to the Keyence LR-W series of self-contained full-spectrum color sensors. This model uses a white LED light source with a fiber type design. Moreover, it comes with a 2 m cable type connection, which suits fixed installations.

Fiber-type sensors help engineers place the detection point away from the amplifier. Specifically, the LR-WF10 detects based on the attached fiber head. Therefore, users can choose a head that matches their target size and distance. Besides, the spot diameter also depends on the selected fiber head.

Technical Specifications

The LR-WF10 operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 VDC, including 10% ripple (P-P). It also requires a Class 2 or LPS power source. Current consumption stays at 50 mA or less at 24 VDC, and 90 mA or less at 12 VDC, with no load.

Output options include NPN open collector or PNP open collector, which users can select. Meanwhile, the output handles 30 VDC or less, 50 mA or less, and residual voltage of 2 V or less. N.O. and N.C. modes are also selectable. For external input, tuning and transmission OFF are available.

Communication support covers IO-Link v1.1 and COM2 at 38.4 kbps on connector-type models. However, this cable-type unit has no built-in ports. In addition, communication expansion is not available.

Response Time and Timing Control

The response time offers five selectable settings: 250 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, and 500 ms. Furthermore, the built-in timer supports OFF, ON-delay, OFF-delay, and one-shot modes. Therefore, engineers can fine-tune output timing for sorting, sealing, or rejection tasks.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The LR-WF10 weighs approximately 150 g, including its cable. Its protection rating reaches IP65 under IEC60529, so it resists dust and water jets. However, the operating temperature range is narrower than other LR-W models, spanning -20 to +45 °C with no freezing.

Relative humidity should stay between 35 and 85 % RH with no condensation. These ratings suit most indoor industrial environments with moderate heat.

Installation Guide

First, mount the amplifier unit using its compact housing. Next, attach the fiber head and route it to the detection point. Then, connect the 2 m cable to the supply within the 10 to 30 VDC range. After that, select NPN or PNP output to match the controller.

For color detection, position the fiber head at the correct distance from the target. Besides, keep the fiber tip clean to avoid false readings. Finally, verify the output with a test sample before full production.
