The Sick WTB12-3P2461S58 Photoelectric Sensor features advanced background suppression technology that ensures precise detection of targets within a sensing range of 50 mm to 500 mm. Using a PinPoint LED with visible red light, it emits a clear line-shaped light spot measuring 50 mm Γ 5 mm at 150 mm distance. This focused detection capability makes it effective even when objects are shiny, perforated, or loosely wrapped in film. With a response time of just 700 Β΅s and a switching frequency of 750 Hz, it is tailored for high-speed, real-time applications like sorting, filling, or packaging.
Operating within a supply voltage range of 10 V to 30 V DC, the sensor maintains low energy consumption at just 40 mA. The PNP complementary digital output with light/dark switching offers flexibility in control logic integration. Built with a durable metal rectangular housing (15.6 mm Γ 48.5 mm Γ 42 mm), it ensures long-term reliability even in harsh conditions. It features an M12, 4-pin male connector and holds ingress protection ratings of IP66, IP67, and IP69K, making it suitable for washdown areas and dusty production lines. Whether it's deployed in food packaging or electronics manufacturing, the WTB12-3P2461S58 stands out for its precision, speed, and industrial-grade resilience.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is commonly used in tight automation environments such as bottling plants, circuit board assembly lines, and pick-and-place machines. Its compact form factor and fast response make it suitable for detecting small components, presence verification, or part alignment.
Its ability to detect shiny, curved, or semi-transparent objects ensures that production doesnβt stop due to sensing errors. Maintenance engineers trust it for its consistent performance, while engineering students learn from its real-world application in smart manufacturing. The WL4S-3F2130 helps build smarter, more reliable automation without adding complexity.
