The Sick WL24-2B430 is a compact photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for a variety of automation and safety applications. This sensor is adept at detecting objects with precision and reliability, making it an essential component in industrial settings where accurate sensing is paramount.
Crafted with a robust zinc diecast housing, the WL24-2B430 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, boasting an IP69K enclosure rating that ensures protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. Its compact dimensions (27 mm x 87.5 mm x 65 mm) allow for easy integration into machinery where space is at a premium.
The sensor operates with a visible red light LED source, providing a detection range of up to 15 meters with the standard reflector PL80A. The light spot size at the maximum distance is Ø 250 mm, ensuring a broad coverage area for the detection of objects. The WL24-2B430 also features a potentiometer for simple and precise adjustments, allowing for quick setup and fine-tuning to meet specific application requirements.
With a fast response time of ≤ 500 µs and a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, the WL24-2B430 is capable of handling high-speed operations with ease. It offers both NPN and PNP output configurations, which can be selected via a switch, and includes light on/dark on operational modes to cater to diverse sensing needs.
The sensor's power supply requirements are flexible, ranging from 10 V DC to 30 V DC, with a residual ripple of less than 5 Vpp, and it has a low current consumption of ≤ 50 mA. Additionally, the WL24-2B430 is equipped with circuit protection features, including reverse-polarity protection, interference suppression, and outputs that are protected against overcurrent and short circuits.
Overall, the Sick WL24-2B430 photoelectric sensor is a reliable and efficient choice for industrial automation tasks, offering durability, precision, and ease of use for a wide range of applications.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MARVO. THEY HAD WHAT I NEEDED AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME AND GOT MY ORDER OUT IMMEDITELY. WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH. I WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THEM QGAIN IN THE FUTURE.Robert Cohen
