SICK Photoelectric Proximity Sensor Cylindrical 2 mm to 100 mm Detection IP67 VT18-2T1410

SICK VT18-2T1410 photoelectric proximity sensor features an advanced cylindrical housing combining polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate to deliver chemical resistance and mechanical stability while maintaining lightweight construction. This sensor detects objects at distances between 2 mm and 100 mm using an infrared light source, making it highly suitable for industrial automation where moisture resistance and fast operation are required.

The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to 70°C, allowing reliable performance in cold storage as well as warm production environments. Its IP67 ingress protection rating ensures it withstands wet conditions and occasional washdowns without damage.

The VT18-2T1410 sensor supports operation at AC voltages up to 253V and can handle switching currents up to 300mA, enabling direct control of loads. Fast response times of 20 ms facilitate high-speed signaling applications in packaging machinery, conveyor systems, and assembly stations.

Installation is simplified via threaded mounting and screw terminal electrical connections, ensuring secure, low-impedance interfacing. The compact cylindrical form factor also enables fitting into control panels with limited space, suitable for level detection and presence sensing in automated lines.

While lacking hazardous area certification, this sensor meets multiple international standards including EU, UK, RoHS, cURus, and ACMA, providing confidence for general industrial use. It is designed for multiple use cases including conveyor object presence detection, packaging machinery sensing, part detection in assembly lines, and applications requiring washdown cycle resistance.

The sensor uses an infrared light source for reliable proximity detection. Threaded mounting and screw terminals provide secure installation and easy wiring. Operates between -25°C and 70°C, supporting wide industrial temperature ranges.

Supports a maximum AC voltage of 253V and current up to 300mA for flexible power and load control. The response time of 20ms enables high-speed signaling in automated control systems. Housing is made of polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate for chemical resistance and durability.

Approved for EU, UK, RoHS, cURus, and ACMA standards with no hazardous area certification. Ideal for conveyor object detection, packaging machinery presence sensing, and assembly line part detection. Compact cylindrical form factor allows mounting in limited spaces and washdown cycle environments.
