Sick WL12G-3B2531 Photoelectric Sensor

The Sick WL12G-3B2531 Photoelectric Sensor is a high-performance photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial automation. Built with Sick’s advanced optical technology, the Sick 25mm Light Spot Photo Sensor ensures precise detection of objects, including transparent items, in demanding production environments.

The WL12G-3B2531 Photoelectric Sensor uses an autocollimation retro-reflective principle with polarization filters, providing a sensing range of up to 4 m. Its LED light source emits a visible red beam at 640 nm with a 25 mm spot size at 1.5 m, delivering high accuracy for transparent object detection. The device operates on a 10–30 V DC supply, with low 30 mA current consumption, and supports both PNP and NPN outputs up to 100 mA. With a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a response time of 330 µs, it is suitable for high-speed automation processes. Engineers benefit from light/dark switching modes and fine sensitivity adjustment via an 11-turn potentiometer. The rugged metal housing with IP66, IP67, and IP69K protection ensures reliability even in washdown and harsh environments, while the M12, 5-pin connector simplifies installation. These specifications make the Sick WL12G-3B2531 a trusted solution for modern automation lines.

In real-world applications, the Sick WL12G-3B2531 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in bottling plants, packaging machines, and conveyor systems where reliable detection of transparent or reflective objects is essential.
