SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Barrel Style, 140 mm Detection Range, PNP Output, Threaded VTB18-4P1240V

SICK VTB18-4P1240V Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a precision barrel style sensor featuring a 140 mm detection range and PNP output. This sensor is engineered for reliable object detection in complex industrial settings, leveraging background suppression to differentiate between objects and reflective backgrounds.

The sensor is housed in a robust stainless steel threaded cylindrical body, facilitating secure mounting on panels or machine fixtures. Its LED light source ensures stable and precise detection performance. The device utilizes a compact 4-pin M12 terminal for straightforward electrical connection, providing power and signaling capabilities compatible with standard industrial systems.

Operating effectively within a temperature range of -25°C to 80°C, it is suited to diverse ambient conditions and harsh industrial environments. The sensor's IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings guarantee resistance to dust, water immersion, and aggressive wash-down procedures, including high-pressure and high-temperature cleaning processes.

SICK VTB18-4P1240V has a fast response time of 0.5 milliseconds, minimizing delays in conveyor or assembly line operations. It draws a maximum current of 100mA and operates safely at up to 30V DC, ensuring compatibility with typical PLC and control unit inputs.

The sensor finds extensive use in industrial automation applications such as presence detection on packaging lines, robot end-effector monitoring in assembly cells, and integration into machine safety control loops. Its rugged stainless steel construction and ingress protection make it especially suited for food production environments requiring frequent wash-down cycles.
