The RAY26P-34162330A00 from Sick is a compact and intelligent photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with an integrated reflex array and autocollimation design. It uses a PinPoint LED light source emitting visible red light at 635 nm, offering a distinct rectangular light spot of 55 mm x 9 mm at 1 m distance. With a detection height of 55 mm and a sensing range up to 4.5 meters, this sensor enables reliable detection of small objects — even as small as 3 mm — regardless of their position within the light array.
This model includes advanced features such as adjustable conveyor belt suppression, BluePilot teach-in, and IO-Link support for seamless integration and intelligent parameterization. It supports Push-pull output (PNP/NPN), with flexible configuration options for both normally open and normally closed logic. The sensor is equipped with a 270 mm M12 male connector and operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a low current consumption of 25–40 mA. Its response time is ≤ 3 ms with a switching frequency of 170 Hz, making it suitable for dynamic production lines.
Built with rugged VISTAL® plastic housing and PMMA optics, the Sick RAY26P-34162330A00 Photoelectric Sensor offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations ranging from –40 °C to +60 °C. Rated IP66 and IP67, it is suitable for harsh environments like packaging lines, logistics centers, and conveyor systems. The combination of precision, configurability, and durability makes this photoelectric sensor a reliable choice for engineers looking to streamline detection in automation systems.
The Sick RAY26P-34162330A00 Photoelectric Sensor is ideal for object detection on wide conveyor belts, where items may be small, randomly positioned, or partially reflective. Its reflex array enables consistent detection across the entire 55 mm light field, making it perfect for fast-moving packages or irregularly shaped goods.
Whether deployed on automated storage systems or high-speed conveyors, the Sick RAY26P-34162330A00 Photoelectric Sensor offers dependable, maintenance-free detection that improves accuracy, minimizes downtime, and enhances system throughput. This photoelectric sensor is built for demanding industrial conditions and supports smart factory initiatives through its IO-Link connectivity.
