SICK Glass, Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor, PNP Output, 24V dc, IP50, 16μs Response Time WLL180T-M434

SICK WLL180T-M434 Glass and Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor provides high-performance sensing with a rapid response time of 16 microseconds and reliable PNP output. Designed for industrial automation, this sensor operates on a 24V direct current supply and has an IP50 ingress protection rating, making it suitable for environments with moderate exposure to dust and moisture.

The sensor incorporates a robust plastic housing that withstands operating temperatures from -25°C to 55°C. Its compact form factor includes a depth of 71.9mm, length of 34.6mm, and width of 10.5mm, facilitated with an M8 male connector for seamless integration into control systems.

Features such as a high switching frequency of 31.2kHz and selectable response times ensure precise detection in demanding industrial conditions. The unit includes an LED light source and advanced high-resolution signal processing with adjustable hysteresis and time delays, catering to applications involving tiny or transparent objects.

Commissioning and configuration are straightforward via an intuitive external teach-in input or onboard controls with a rotatable display screen, providing visual feedback through dual four-digit numeric displays. The sensor supports bus communication configurations with built-in anti-interference logic to prevent cross-talk between devices in networked setups.

Key industrial use cases include detection of printed circuit boards, level measurement in bottles, log detection and classification, presence and fill level checks in singulation systems, part monitoring in grippers and injection molding tools, and precise monitoring of solar cell pick-up positions. It excels in demanding settings involving dust, spray, mist, and even vacuum environments.
