SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 5 mm → 100 mm, PNP Output, IP67 Rating, Plastic WTB8L-P2211

The SICK WTB8L-P2211 Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a high-precision block sensor designed for industrial automation environments requiring rapid and reliable detection of objects moving at high speeds and small sizes. It features a focused red laser light source with an adjustable detection range from 5 mm to 100 mm and a fast 250 microseconds response time, enabling precise presence sensing and inline quality control.

Its robust design includes an IP67-rated plastic housing ensuring protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion, making it suitable for washdown-prone or harsh production settings. The sensor supports a PNP output type with a 4-pin connector terminal, compatible with sourcing input PLCs and automated control circuits operating up to 30V DC and supporting currents up to 100mA.

The device operates efficiently within an ambient temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and attaches securely to machine frames or fixtures via hole and threaded mounts for versatile installation options. Certified to CE and UL standards, the sensor meets common industrial regulatory requirements for safe electrical equipment deployment.

Widespread applications for the WTB8L-P2211 include high-speed pick-and-place operations on conveyor lines, presence verification of small assembly components, and fast-moving parts inspection in manufacturing and automation processes. Its compact plastic enclosure not only reduces weight but also resists many production floor chemicals.

The sensor covers a detection range of 5 mm to 100 mm for diverse sensing needs. PNP output type allows simple integration with common industrial control logic. Fast response time of 250μs enables efficient detection in rapid automation workflows.

IP67 housing ensures durability in dusty and wet environments. Plastic housing offers chemical resistance and lightweight construction. Threaded hole mounting provides installation flexibility. Electrical ratings of 30V DC voltage and 100mA current support standard control circuits.

Operating temperature ranges from -10°C to 50°C suitable for various industrial conditions. CE and UL certifications demonstrate compliance with international standards. Explore our extensive range of industrial sensors at EnvMart, where quality and precision meet rigorous application demands.
