The Sick WSE12-3P2431 Photoelectric Sensor is built around a through-beam sensing system that delivers a robust sensing range of 0 m to 15 m, with a maximum capability of up to 20 m. Its visible red LED light operates at a wavelength of 640 nm and produces a focused Γ 220 mm light spot at 15 m, ensuring precise object detection even at extended distances. Fine-tuning is made simple with a 5-turn potentiometer, giving installers full control over sensitivity adjustments to match specific industrial setups.
With a supply voltage range of 10 V to 30 V DC and a minimal current consumption of β€ 30 mA, the sensor is both energy-efficient and compatible with most automation power systems. It offers a complementary PNP digital output, along with light/dark switching functionality, making it highly adaptable to a variety of logic circuits. Built for speed, the response time is β€ 330 Β΅s and the switching frequency reaches 1,500 Hz, enabling fast detection in dynamic applications. Housed in a compact rectangular metal enclosure (15.6 mm Γ 48.5 mm Γ 42 mm) with an M12, 4-pin male connector, this sensor is ready for harsh factory environments. It holds IP66, IP67, and IP69K protection ratings, making it suitable for use in dusty, wet, or washdown zones.
