SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 1.2 m Detection Range, NPN Output, IP67 Rated WL2S-2E1330

SICK WL2S-2E1330 Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor is a block sensor designed for demanding industrial sensing tasks with a detection range of 1.2 meters. It features an NPN output and robust IP67 rated plastic housing to withstand harsh environmental conditions. This ultra-compact sensor provides innovative background suppression, allowing reliable detection of objects with very low reflectivity down to 1% blackness, which is critical for versatile industrial automation processes.

The sensor uses a PinPoint LED as a light source, enabling sharp, laser-like detection spots, minimizing errors due to ambient lighting or reflections. It is engineered for quick response with a 500μs response time and supports advanced functions such as counter, timestamping, and false tripping suppression, reducing load on industrial controls.

Operating over a temperature range of -25°C to +50°C, it is well suited for applications in pharmaceutical inspection, logistics material handling, and precision assembly of electronic components such as smartphone modules and small parts like pins, screws, and rings.

The device is programmed easily via a 3-turn potentiometer or can be controlled remotely through IO-Link, facilitating setup even in confined spaces. Its design flexibility with compact size and high sensing ranges supports space-saving machine layouts and improved process reliability through visible light spots with autocollimation.

The sensor provides background suppression enabling detection of ultrablack objects with reflectivity as low as 1%. Compact design offers above-average sensing distances and space-saving installation. Equipped with durable plastic housing and 3-pin connector terminal type.

Operates reliably from -25°C up to 50°C in industrial environments. PinPoint LED light source provides precise detection with minimal false triggering. Response time of 500 microseconds ensures fast and accurate sensing.

Includes features such as false tripping suppression, timestamping, and counter functions for enhanced machine control. Suitable for applications in pharmaceutical, logistics, smartphone production, and small parts assembly.

IP67 rating protects sensor against dust and water ingress in harsh conditions.

This sensor is ideal for industrial, laboratory, automation, manufacturing, and quality control applications requiring reliable object detection in compact spaces. The SICK WL2S-2E1330 sensor combines precision, speed, and durability to facilitate Industry 4.0 smart factory environments.
