SICK Plastic Glass Fibre Optic Sensor with PNP Output IP50 24V dc WLL180T-F434

SICK WLL180T-F434 Plastic Glass Fibre Optic Sensor is engineered for industrial automation and control applications requiring fast, reliable object detection. This sensor operates at 24V dc with a durable plastic housing rated at IP50, suitable for use in environments with dust and mist. It features a PNP output and is equipped with an LED light source that enables sensing distances up to 20 meters via the through-beam system or up to 1400 mm in proximity sensing setups.

The sensor's response time of 16 microseconds and switching frequency of 31.2 kHz enable rapid and precise detection for high-speed manufacturing, assembly line monitoring, and process detection where timing is critical. An intuitive digital interface with two 4-digit displays simplifies programming and status diagnostics, while adjustable hysteresis and programmable time delays provide flexible adaptation to varying applications.

Connectivity is facilitated via an M8 male connector, ensuring secure and noise-resistant connections. The WLL180T-F434 sensor is bus-compatible with internal anti-interference logic, allowing multiple sensors to network efficiently without crosstalk, a significant advantage in complex production environments.

Designed to reliably detect objects such as printed circuit boards, bottles, logs, and parts within grippers or injection mold tooling, it excels in environments challenged by dust, spray, or mist. The sensor also supports applications like level measurement and position monitoring in industrial, laboratory, manufacturing, environmental control, and automation systems.

With UL and CE certifications, the product assures compliance with international safety standards. Its compact dimensions (71.9 mm depth, 34.6 mm length, and 10.5 mm width) and plastic housing make it lightweight and easy to install in constrained spaces. The sensor is manufactured in China and is provided in new condition.

The sensor's fast 16μs response is ideal for rapid process monitoring. Robust plastic housing ensures durability and IP50 ingress protection. High switching frequency supports fast automation cycles. Adjustable parameters allow tailored detection for diverse industrial needs.

Bus-compatible design prevents sensor cross-talk in network setups. Compact form factor fits into tight installation spaces. Integrated digital display aids in straightforward commissioning and troubleshooting. Wide operating temperature range covers most industrial environments.

Used in a range of applications including PCB detection and level measurement. Compliance with UL and CE standards guarantees reliability and safety. Explore more advanced sensing and automation products from reputed brands at EnvMart for your industrial applications.
