SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, Detection Range 20 mm to 350 mm, NPN Output WTB12-3N2433

SICK WTB12-3N2433 Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a rugged, high-performance block sensor featuring a detection range from 20 mm to 350 mm and NPN output. It operates at a maximum DC voltage of 30 V and a maximum current of 100 mA. This sensor is housed in a robust metal die-cast zinc casing, optionally coated with Teflon®, and designed for flexible mounting with screw mount type supporting through holes, base blind holes, oblong through holes, and dovetail mounting options.

This sensor utilizes advanced ASIC technology to deliver reliable object detection with immunity to optical interference prevalent in industrial environments. The pin-point LED technology provides a bright, precise light spot enabling fast and accurate sensor alignment. Featuring a red light source along with high-energy IR transmitters, the WTB12-3N2433 ensures precise switching characteristics that minimize downtime caused by sensor adjustment during production changes.

Rated to IP66 and IP67 standards, it withstands dust and water ingress, making it ideal for harsh industrial settings. The sensor supports IO-Link communication for easy access to diagnostics and parameters from the PLC, enhancing process control and monitoring. Certified by CE and UL, it is suitable for industrial automation applications including board detection, ultrasonic welding station presence, tray position checking, collision prevention on robot grippers, detection of paper edges, and flexible packaging configurations.
