SICK Foreground Suppression Photoelectric Sensor Block Style Stainless Steel Housing 20 mm to 200 mm Detection WTF4S-3P2262V

The SICK WTF4S-3P2262V Foreground Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a highly precise industrial sensor featuring a sturdy stainless steel (316L/1.4404) enclosure designed for longevity in harsh environments. With a robust build, it offers IP66, IP67, and IP68 ingress protection ratings, making it suitable for applications requiring washdown and fluid tightness, including Ecolab certified environments.

This block style sensor employs a red light source with a detection range spanning from 20 mm to 200 mm, optimized for detecting materials such as methyl methacrylate and plastic. Its PNP output and 4-pin M8 connector interface simplify integration into automation systems.

Key functionalities include a highly visible laser-like PinPoint LED for quick and accurate sensor alignment, and a metal membrane pushbutton for easy sensor teach-in setup. The sensor supports IO-Link technology, facilitating straightforward configuration, monitoring, diagnostics, and visualization within programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

The sensor is designed to operate within a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C while handling a maximum DC voltage of 30 V and current up to 100 mA. These features, combined with a rapid response time of 500 microseconds, contribute to high efficiency and reliability in critical industrial applications.
