SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Barrel Style, Red Light, 1 mm to 140 mm Detection Range VTF180-2P42412

SICK VTF180-2P42412 Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a barrel-style sensor using red light source for precise detection within 1 mm to 140 mm range. It is engineered for industrial automation to provide reliable, non-contact object detection with high environmental protection.

The sensor body combines nickel-plated brass for the threaded barrel and polycarbonate for the front section to balance mechanical strength and optical clarity. The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water, allowing operation in harsh factory or material handling environments.

Featuring a PNP output and a 4-pin M12 connector, the sensor supports direct interfacing with PLCs or relay inputs for simple electrical integration. It operates safely at maximum 30 V DC and 100 mA current, suitable for typical industrial control systems.

With a rapid response time of 500 microseconds and an operating temperature range of -25°C to 55°C, it supports fast, reliable detection in diverse conditions. Certified by CE and UL standards, it meets industrial safety requirements.

Common use cases include presence detection on conveyor lines, part counting in automated assembly, object confirmation by pick-and-place equipment, edge detection on packaging machinery, and obstacle sensing in automated guided vehicles.

The sensor features robust metal housing with polycarbonate front for durability. IP67 rating protects against dust and water ingress for industrial environments. PNP output and 4-pin M12 connector facilitate seamless integration with control systems.

Operating temperature range is from -25°C to 55°C, suitable for varied industrial settings. Fast response time of 500 microseconds enables rapid object detection and control. Maximum DC voltage rating is 30 V with a maximum current draw of 100 mA.

The sensor complies with CE and UL certifications for safety and reliability. Ideal applications include presence detection on conveyor lines, automated assembly stations, and packaging machinery. Designed for obstacle sensing in automated guided vehicles and pick-and-place equipment.
