The Sick WT12L-2B550A02 is a state-of-the-art photoelectric proximity sensor designed with precision and reliability in mind. This compact sensor is engineered to provide exceptional detection capabilities, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial automation applications. With its small form factor, measuring just 15 mm in width, 49 mm in height, and 41.5 mm in depth, it can be easily integrated into tight spaces without compromising performance.
This sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, ensuring flexibility in various power environments. It boasts a low current consumption of 55 mA, making it an energy-efficient option for continuous operation. The WT12L-2B550A02 features both PNP and NPN digital outputs, catering to different circuitry requirements, and offers a quick response time of less than or equal to 200 µs, which is critical for high-speed processes.
The switching frequency of this sensor is an impressive 2,500 Hz, allowing for rapid detection and processing of objects. Users can select between light and dark switching modes via an L/D control cable, providing versatility in response to different operational needs. The sensor is also equipped with circuit protection features, including reverse-polarity protection, interference suppression, and overcurrent and short-circuit protection, ensuring durability and a longer service life.
Housed in a robust metal casing with a PMMA front screen, the WT12L-2B550A02 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. It carries an IP67 enclosure rating, signifying its dust-tight construction and resistance to water ingress, which allows it to operate reliably in a wide temperature range from –10 °C to +50 °C.
The Sick WT12L-2B550A02 photoelectric proximity sensor is a versatile and efficient solution for precise object detection and automation control, making it a valuable addition to any industrial setting where accuracy and dependability are paramount.

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
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
