VHL-W36D-PL light barrier with cold light, 36 W — Vertex

The VHL-W36D-PL is a compact light barrier designed for dependable presence detection and clear signalling in industrial automation and assembly applications

• Cold-light illumination for stable detection
• 36 W output for clear signalling
• 70 mm diameter sensor head
• Incl. 1.8 m connection cable

Consistent detection performance for industrial processes

The 36 W rated emitter in this light barrier ensures a consistent optical output that supports dependable switching and signaling in conveyor, assembly and pick-and-place tasks. As a purpose-built light barrier, it translates illumination into repeatable detection events, reducing false triggers and interruptions. The electrical rating indicates sufficient luminous intensity for typical factory distances and helps maintain throughput where optical clarity matters. Clear electrical specification allows planners to match the sensor to existing control circuits without guesswork.

Compact design and ready-to-connect installation

A small sensor footprint—with a 70 mm diameter head—and an included 1.8 m cable simplify integration into confined cabinets or tight machine layouts. The modest mass of 2.9 kg keeps handling and mounting straightforward, while the pre-fitted cable removes one sourcing step and speeds commissioning. Where space and cabling logistics influence machine design, the sensor’s dimensions and connection provision reduce installation time and engineering adjustments, supporting faster production line start-ups.

Cold-light technology that reduces heat and drift

The unit’s cold light source provides illumination with a lower thermal load compared with conventional high-temperature lamps, which helps limit thermal drift at the sensing zone. Lower heat generation protects nearby components and maintains consistent detection thresholds over extended cycles. For applications where temperature stability and minimal impact on the workpiece are important, cold-light illumination offers a practical balance between performance and component longevity.

A reliable component for clear signalling and simple maintenance

Engineered as a focused detection device for industrial environments, this barrier offers straightforward function without unnecessary complexity. The precise optical output and compact sensor geometry support integration into inspection stations and automation cells where clarity of signal is essential. With a robust specification and minimal accessory requirements, the unit contributes to predictable uptime and simplifies spare-part management in workshop and production settings.
