SICK Proximity Photoelectric Barrel Sensor 450 mm Detection Range PNP Output IP67 IP68 IP69K Stainless Steel VTE18-4P4240V

SICK VTE18-4P4240V Proximity Photoelectric Sensor from the V18 series features a barrel-style stainless steel housing designed to detect objects up to 450 mm via infrared sensing. This sensor delivers a fast 1ms response time and is equipped with a PNP output type for simple sourcing logic integration in automated industrial environments.

Its 30V DC supply voltage and 100mA maximum current make it compatible with common low-voltage control systems and direct interfacing with input devices. The threaded mounting style ensures secure positioning, while the 4-pin M12 terminal guarantees robust connection reliability.

Constructed from stainless steel V4A, the sensor is resistant to corrosive agents, suited for demanding factory floors and harsh industrial atmospheres. It withstands a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to 80°C, enabling deployment in cold storage zones as well as high-temperature production lines.

The enclosure’s IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings afford protection against dust ingress and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, keeping the sensor operational in tough conditions. Certifications including ACMA, cULus, EU, RoHS, and UK compliance underline its suitability for international installations and meet rigorous quality standards.

This sensor is ideal for diverse applications such as conveyor object counting in packaging lines, presence detection on robotic end-of-arm tooling, material handling position sensing in warehouses, end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators, and object registration in printing and labeling machines.

1ms response time enables high-speed detection for fast processing. 30V DC supply voltage supports standard low-voltage industrial control systems. 100mA maximum current allows direct connection to control inputs. PNP output simplifies integration with PLCs and control logic.

Threaded mounting ensures secure and easy installation. 4-pin M12 terminal provides reliable wiring connection. Infrared light source for accurate proximity detection. Stainless steel V4A housing offers corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Operating temperature range from -25°C to 80°C suits diverse industrial applications. IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings protect against dust and high-pressure washdowns. Complies with ACMA, cULus, EU, RoHS, and UK standards for global market use.
