SICK W34 Series Photoelectric Sensor, 100mm Detection Range, Infrared Light Source - WT34-R220


This photoelectric sensor offers Advanced infrared sensor technology suitable for various industrial applications. Designed with a Block style, it features a sensing range of 100mm to 2.5m, allowing for reliable detection over varying distances. The Compact design (27mm x 92mm x 70mm) and robust ABS housing ensure durability, whilst its IP67 rating provides excellent protection against dust and moisture.

Features & Benefits


• Utilises background suppression to prevent false triggering
• Relay output sensor supports diverse switching functions
• Maximum switching current of 4 A enables versatile applications
• Adjustability allows for fine-tuning via potentiometer settings
• High-temperature sensors operate effectively from -40°C to +60°C
• Panel mount sensors facilitate easy installation in tight spaces

Applications


• Employed in automation systems to detect object presence
• Utilised in packaging machinery for precise product positioning
• Integrated into conveyor systems for object counting and sorting
• Suitable for safety requiring reliable object detection
• Ideal for material handling and supply chain management solutions

How does the background suppression feature enhance functionality?


The background suppression capability allows the sensor to accurately detect objects while ignoring backgrounds that may trigger false signals, ensuring reliable operation in environments with varying surfaces.

What is the significance of the IP67 rating?


The IP67 rating ensures the sensor is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1m for short periods, making it suitable for outdoor and challenging environments.

Can the sensing range be adjusted for specific applications?


Yes, the sensing range can be adjusted using a potentiometer, allowing users to customise the detection area to meet specific operational requirements.

How does the relay output support different electrical loads?


The relay output is electrically isolated, enabling compatibility with inductive and capacitive loads, and can handle a maximum switching voltage of 250V AC or DC.

What considerations should be MADE for installation in high-temperature areas?


The operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C confirms the sensor's reliability in diverse environments, but additional care should be taken to ensure it is mounted securely to prevent exposure to direct heat sources.

Note

For retro-reflective sensors a suitable reflector is required.
For PL80A, PL30A & C110 reflectors see stock nos. 265-2776, 265-2760 & 265-2748 respectively.
