Sick RAY26P-24162530A00 Photoelectric Sensor

The RAY26P-24162530A00 model from Sick incorporates advanced reflex array technology with autocollimation, ensuring accurate and position-independent detection across a defined light curtain. With a 55 mm detection height and a sensing range up to 3 meters, it is ideal for detecting small parts—even those misaligned or spaced unevenly—without compromising on precision. The sensor uses a visible red light source through PinPoint LED technology, projecting a sharp 55 mm x 9 mm light spot at 1 meter. This allows easy alignment and consistent sensing, even in fast-paced applications. With a voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, the sensor consumes minimal current (25 mA to 40 mA), making it suitable for energy-efficient installations. The robust VISTAL® plastic housing, combined with an IP66/IP67 enclosure rating, ensures long-term performance in dusty, moist, or mechanically stressful environments. It features push-pull output (PNP/NPN) and supports IO-Link communication for seamless integration into modern control systems. The sensor’s fast ≤ 3 ms response time and 170 Hz switching frequency ensure no delay in detecting fast-moving or intermittent objects. The configuration is flexible using BluePilot Teach-in or IO-Link, allowing easy adaptation to changing production requirements. This model has proven reliability in applications where consistent performance, low maintenance, and real-time diagnostics are critical.

The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is commonly used in industries like FMCG, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and logistics. One of its main applications is on fast-moving conveyor systems—detecting items like pouches, cartons, or circuit boards. Its compact design and accurate detection make it suitable for side-mounting or tight spaces near guide rails. Junior engineers often appreciate how quickly this sensor can be set up using simple Teach-in buttons—no need for extra tools or software. Senior maintenance engineers value the consistency it offers, especially in situations where lighting or dust varies throughout the day. Because of the autocollimation feature, it avoids false detections that are common with traditional retro-reflective sensors, even when the object is not centered in the beam. Whether it’s for position confirmation, counting, or detection before labeling and filling operations, the WL4S-3F2130 delivers dependable results. Engineering teams can trust Sick’s quality, knowing that the product is backed by years of innovation in optical sensing. If you're planning to scale production or reduce downtime, this sensor is a smart, future-ready choice.
