Sick WT260-F270

The Sick WT260-F270 is a versatile and compact photoelectric sensor designed for a wide range of industrial applications. This sensor is part of the W260 product family, known for its reliability and efficiency in automation tasks. With its robust ABS plastic housing and PC optics, the Sick WT260-F270 ensures durability and longevity in harsh industrial environments.

Featuring a PNP switching output and the ability to switch between light and dark operation, this sensor offers flexibility for different detection requirements. It has a quick response time of less than 0.5 milliseconds and a high switching frequency of 1000 Hz, making it suitable for applications where speed and precision are critical.

The sensor's operating range is impressive, with the ability to detect objects within a range of 5 mm to 1500 mm, depending on the object's reflectivity. It utilises visible red light as its light source, which is generated by a long-lasting LED with an average life expectancy of 100,000 hours at an ambient temperature of 25°C.

For ease of use, the WT260-F270 includes a potentiometer for simple adjustment and fine-tuning of the detection range. It also comes with a set of protective circuits to prevent damage from electrical interference, reverse polarity, overcurrent, and short circuits, ensuring stable operation and a longer service life.

The sensor is rated with an IP67 protection class, meaning it is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for use in a variety of challenging conditions. Additionally, it operates within a wide temperature range from -25°C to +55°C, which allows for deployment in diverse climates and industrial settings.

The Sick WT260-F270 is an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their automation processes with a reliable, high-performance photoelectric sensor.
