SICK Energetic Photoelectric Sensor Barrel Style, Detection Range 1 mm to 500 mm, PNP Output, IP67 VTE180-2P42447

The SICK VTE180-2P42447 is a high-performance Energetic Photoelectric Sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. Featuring a barrel sensor housing, this device supports a detection range from 1 mm to 500 mm using an active LED light source which ensures reliable sensing of reflective or interrupting objects.

Constructed with durable plastic materials including polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate, the sensor is engineered for chemical resistance and impact tolerance, making it suitable for mounting on moving machinery parts. The threaded mount type enables easy installation and secure positioning.

Electrical integration is streamlined via a robust 4-pin M12 connector compatible with standard mating cables. The sensor operates at a maximum DC voltage of 30 volts and can handle currents up to 100 mA, reducing the need for additional drivers in control systems. With a fast 0.5 ms response time, it is ideal for high-speed detection requirements in manufacturing and processing lines.

Environmental protection is provided by an IP67 rating, allowing the sensor to withstand washdown procedures and dusty industrial environments without compromising performance. Its operational temperature range of -25 °C to 55 °C ensures reliable function across common industrial climate conditions.

Certified with CE and cULus approvals, the sensor complies with regional safety and electrical standards, enhancing confidence in its deployment within automated systems.

Common applications include conveyor object detection, presence monitoring at pick-and-place stations, end-of-travel sensing on actuators, and use with programmable logic controllers in packaging machinery. The sensor's energetic detection style is highly suited for quality control and precise gates detecting small parts in manufacturing.
