The IMF12-04BPSNC0S sensor features a cylindrical thread design with a standard M12 x 1 housing and a compact Ø 12 mm diameter, making it suitable for space-constrained machine setups. It offers a reliable sensing range of 4 mm with a safe operating margin of 3.24 mm. Designed for flush mounting, the sensor ensures seamless integration into stainless steel panels, conveyor rails, and bottling equipment.
Built with DC 3-wire PNP NO output, the sensor operates at a high switching frequency of 2,000 Hz, enabling fast response in high-speed detection tasks. The M12 4-pin male connector ensures secure connectivity, and the unit is equipped with IO-Link support for advanced diagnostics and remote configuration—critical for modern Industry 4.0 environments. Its IP68 and IP69K protection ratings ensure maximum resistance against high-pressure washdowns, aggressive cleaning agents, and harsh industrial fluids.
This sensor also features a temperature-resistant design and includes V4A stainless steel mounting nuts, enabling stable and corrosion-resistant installation in hygienic food-grade applications or pharmaceutical machinery. Backed by Sick’s globally recognized quality standards and local technical support, the IMF12-04BPSNC0S is a dependable sensor that improves uptime, reliability, and compliance in cleanroom and wet zone automation.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for scenarios where conventional sensors struggle with background reflections or compact object detection. Its primary strength lies in reliably detecting small, transparent, or glossy objects—even when placed against shiny metal or moving belts—making it the preferred choice in automated assembly lines, packaging units, and labeling stations.
In a typical bottling or FMCG plant, this sensor can detect clear plastic bottles or missing labels without false triggers, ensuring consistent quality checks. In automotive or electronics manufacturing, it confirms the presence of small parts or PCBs without interference from surrounding machinery. Its built-in background suppression enables precise detection without needing complex calibration, saving time during commissioning and maintenance.
With intuitive visual indicators and durable housing, the WL4S-3F2130 is easy to install and troubleshoot, even by junior engineers. For engineering students and technicians learning industrial automation, it offers a perfect introduction to reliable photoelectric sensing technology. Backed by Sick's expertise, this sensor enables smarter and more stable automation, even in the most space-constrained or visually complex environments.
