Sick WSE12-3P2411S36 Photoelectric Sensor

The Sick WSE12-3P2411S36 Photoelectric Sensor is built on a through-beam sensing principle, offering exceptional detection reliability over a sensing range of 0 m to 4 m, with a maximum range of 5 m. It uses a powerful infrared LED light source at 850 nm wavelength, producing a focused Ø 750 mm light spot at 5 m for stable detection of opaque objects. This model’s fast response time of ≤ 5,000 µs and switching frequency of 100 Hz allow it to operate efficiently in environments where objects move at moderate speeds. A 5-turn potentiometer enables easy sensitivity adjustments during setup, providing flexibility in various use cases.

This sensor is equipped with a complementary PNP digital output, supporting both light and dark switching modes, and handles output currents of up to 100 mA. Designed to work with a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, it consumes just 30 mA, making it energy-efficient and suitable for integration in distributed control systems. Its rectangular metal housing (15.6 mm × 48.5 mm × 42 mm) and PMMA front screen offer durability and optical clarity, while its IP66, IP67, and IP69K enclosure ratings ensure protection against dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns.

Thanks to its rugged construction and stable signal performance, the WSE12-3P2411S36 is widely trusted in material handling, bottling lines, and component presence verification tasks. Its wide temperature tolerance from –40 °C to +60 °C ensures reliable operation across diverse industrial environments. Designed for plug-and-play use with a standard M12 4-pin male connector, this sensor delivers dependable performance with minimal maintenance. .
