The Sick WT12-2P460 is a high-performance photoelectric proximity sensor designed for precise object detection in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor operates on the principle of background suppression, ensuring reliable detection of objects regardless of background conditions. With a compact block design measuring 15 mm x 49 mm x 41.5 mm, it is suitable for installation in tight spaces.
The sensor offers a detection range of 35 mm to 100 mm, adjustable via a built-in potentiometer, allowing for fine-tuning to meet specific application requirements. It features a robust metal housing with an IP67 rating, making it suitable for use in harsh environments where exposure to dust and water is a concern.
The WT12-2P460 utilises an LED light source for stable operation and a long service life. It provides a quick response time of ≤ 330 µs, which is essential for high-speed processes. The sensor's PNP switching output and M12 4-pin connector ensure easy integration into existing systems.
This sensor is ideal for automation tasks where precision is key, such as assembly lines, packaging, material handling, and machine building. Its ability to ignore background objects and focus on the target makes it a reliable choice for maintaining efficiency and productivity in automated processes.

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
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
