Sick WT27-2F411

The Sick WT27-2F411 is a sophisticated sensor designed to offer reliable detection and differentiation between objects and backgrounds in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor operates on the principle of background suppression, which allows it to accurately identify targets within a range of 100 mm to 1,500 mm, regardless of the background conditions.

Constructed with a robust rectangular housing measuring 24.6 mm x 80 mm x 53.5 mm, the WT27-2F411 is engineered to withstand challenging industrial environments. It boasts an IP65 rating, ensuring protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for use in a wide range of operating conditions, including temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +60 °C.

The sensor utilises infrared light emitted from an LED light source, which is highly effective in industrial settings where high accuracy is paramount. The emitted light is detected by the sensor to determine the presence or absence of an object. Users can fine-tune the detection range and sensitivity with an integrated potentiometer, providing flexibility and precision in application.

With a fast response time of ≤ 2 ms, the WT27-2F411 is capable of quick detection, which is essential for high-speed automation processes. The PNP switching output and the choice of light or dark switching modes offer versatility in integrating the sensor into various control systems.

The WT27-2F411 is powered by a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and has a current consumption of 25 mA, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous operation. The sensor's connection is facilitated by a male M18 4-pin connector, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Overall, the Sick WT27-2F411 is a reliable and efficient solution for object detection in industrial automation, packaging, material handling, and other applications where precision and durability are required.
