The RAY26P-24162530A00 Sick Reflex Array Photoelectric Sensor is a SICK retro-reflective sensor for position-independent object detection in industrial automation. It provides a 0 m to 3 m sensing range, detects objects as small as 5 mm, uses a 55 mm detection height, and provides a push-pull PNP/NPN output. It belongs to the SICK RAY26 Reflex Array series and uses autocollimation optics, visible 635 nm PinPoint LED light, IO-Link communication, and BluePilot adjustment.
The RAY26P-24162530A00 Sick Reflex Array Photoelectric Sensor can be used on conveyors, packaging machines, automated production lines, and assembly systems. Its continuous light array supports position-independent detection of small, flat, uneven, or transparent objects within the optical path. Push-pull switching supports PNP and NPN operation, while IO-Link provides configuration, diagnostics, and data processing. BluePilot supports teach-in adjustment and optical alignment during sensor setup.
SICK RAY26P-24162530A00, Part No. 1221946, combines Reflex Array sensing, a 55 mm by 9 mm light spot at 1 metre, IO-Link, and a 4-pin M12 connection. It operates from 10 V DC to 30 V DC and carries IP66 and IP67 enclosure ratings. With dimensions of 24.6 mm × 82.5 mm × 53.3 mm, this SICK sensor is suited to conveyor, packaging, assembly, and industrial automation applications requiring position-independent object detection.
