Sick WL12G-3P2582S10 Photoelectric Sensor

The Sick WL12G-3P2582S10 Photoelectric Sensor operates using a photoelectric retro-reflective principle with autocollimation, making it exceptionally effective for detecting clear and transparent items such as glass, film, and PET containers. It utilizes a visible infrared LED with a wavelength of 850 nm, producing a sharply focused Ø 100 mm light spot at 3 meters for precise object detection. Designed for flexible deployment, the sensor features a single teach-in button for easy configuration and repeatable alignment in fast-paced industrial setups.

Engineered to deliver high-speed response, it offers a reaction time of ≤ 330 µs and a switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, making it suitable for applications with rapid motion or high throughput. The output type is PNP with light switching mode, and it supports an output current up to 100 mA. Operating on a safe 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage, the sensor consumes just 40 mA, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining peak accuracy.

Its rugged rectangular metal housing (dimensions: 15.6 mm × 48.5 mm × 42 mm) and PMMA front screen offer mechanical strength and optical clarity. With IP66, IP67, and IP69K enclosure ratings, the WL12G-3P2582S10 is fully protected against dust, water jets, and high-pressure cleaning, making it highly reliable in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The M12 5-pin male connector simplifies integration with industrial control systems, ensuring quick deployment and minimal wiring complexity.

The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is engineered for compact automation setups where space is limited and detection accuracy is critical. It is often used in pick-and-place machines, compact conveyors, and small robotic stations. The sensor’s fast response and reliable background suppression make it ideal for detecting small parts or flat objects moving at variable speeds—without needing frequent adjustments.

Maintenance teams find it particularly useful in tight enclosures, such as control panels or testing rigs, where conventional sensors may not fit. In the electronics industry, this sensor ensures that even low-profile components are present before soldering or quality checks. The device’s reliable detection performance under fluctuating lighting and its small form factor help engineers achieve high repeatability in production. Whether you're working on a new automation project or replacing legacy sensors, the WL4S-3F2130 simplifies deployment while maintaining precision and uptime.
