The RAY26P-34162530A00 Sick Reflex Array Photoelectric Sensor is a SICK retro-reflective sensor designed 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. The RAY26P-34162530A00 belongs to the SICK RAY26 Reflex Array series and uses autocollimation optics with IO-Link communication.
The RAY26P-34162530A00 Sick Reflex Array Photoelectric Sensor can be used on conveyors, packaging machines, automated production lines, and assembly systems. Its 55 mm light array supports position-independent detection of small, flat, transparent, or unevenly formed objects such as polybags and glass bottles. The ≤ 3 ms response time supports object detection on automated equipment, while IO-Link and BluePilot provide configuration through communication or teach-in adjustment.
SICK RAY26P-34162530A00, Part No. 1221947, combines Reflex Array sensing, autocollimation, push-pull switching, IO-Link, and BluePilot adjustment for industrial object detection. The sensor operates from 10 V DC to 30 V DC and connects through a 270 mm cable with a 4-pin M12 male connector. As a SICK RAY26 Reflex Array photoelectric sensor, it is suitable for conveyor, packaging, assembly, and automation applications requiring detection across a defined 55 mm monitoring area.
