SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 1 mm → 150 mm Detection Range

The incredibly small latest generation WTB2S-2 miniature photoelectric sensor from SICK offers completely new machine design possibilities. The ultra-compact sensors can be installed in confined spaces and be set and monitored remotely via IO-Link. The W2S-2 also offers world-class sensing distances in this housing size.

PinPoint LEDs detect all kinds of objects including transparent objects, light & dark, large or small and even people. The PinPoint technology enables quick and easy sensor alignment and provides a precise, highly visible light spot that is unaffected by peripheral light.

· PinPoint 2.0 LED with extended sensing distances and high operating reserves
· A variety of application possibilities thanks to clearly-defined laser-like or line-shaped light spots
· Detection of highly-transparent and reflective objects using sensors with V-optics
· Ultra-compact design offering above-average sensing distances and provide space-saving installation
· IO-Link remote setup provides easy data access from the PLC
· High operational reliability: ultra black objects are detected with a degree of reflection of 1%

Whether it is used in machines in the pharmaceutical industry, in logistics handling applications or in automatic assembly equipment, the ultra-compact W2S-2 offers optimal performance and high reliability in industrial environments. Industry 4.0 is already on board: Both the sensing distance as well as continuous monitoring are set via the controller. The W2S-2 reduces the load on the machine control by using a counter, timestamp and false tripping suppression functions.
