SICK Glass, Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor with PNP Output, IP50 Protection, 24V DC Supply WLL180T-F333

The SICK WLL180T-F333 glass and plastic fibre optic sensor is designed for rapid and reliable industrial detection applications. This sensor features a PNP output type and operates on a 24V DC supply, providing dependable operation with a robust IP50 ingress protection rating. It has a lightning-fast response time of 16 microseconds and supports switching frequencies of up to 31.2 kHz, which enables high-speed process detection even in challenging environments like dust, spray, and mist.

The sensor employs an LED light source and utilizes glass and plastic fibre optic components to achieve a sensing range of up to 20 meters in through-beam systems or up to 1400 mm in proximity systems. The housing is made of durable plastic, ensuring long service life while operating within temperature limits from -25°C to 55°C. Its compact dimensions of 34.6mm length, 10.5mm width, and 71.9mm depth make it suitable for installations with limited space constraints.

Equipped with a 3-pin M8 connector for secure electrical connections, the WLL180T-F333 sensor offers a rotatable display screen and supports high-resolution signal processing with adjustable hysteresis and programmable time delays, allowing flexible parameter adjustments to meet specific application requirements. It can be configured individually or networked in bus configurations for synchronized operation with multiple units, eliminating cross-talk with integrated anti-interference logic.

Applications include detecting printed circuit boards, measuring liquid levels in bottles, log detection and classification, checking presence and fill levels in manufacturing and assembly lines, monitoring gripper positions in robotic arms, and identifying solar cells during production. The sensor complies with CE and UL standards, ensuring quality and safety in industrial and automation environments.
