Sick Fotoelektrik Sensör, Yayınımlı Algılama Aralığı: 140 mm, PNP, Stil: Silindir, IP67, IP68, IP69K

SICK V18 Series Photoelectric Sensor, IP67/IP68/IP69K, 30V Maximum DC Voltage - VTB18-4P1240V

This photoelectric sensor detects objects using background suppression and is intended for industrial automation environments. Housed in stainless steel, it provides robust proximity sensing with an LED light source and a cylindrical threaded body suited to panel or machine mounting. Connection is via a 4‑pin M12 Terminal and the device operates within typical factory temperature ranges.

Features and Benefits:

• 0.5 MS response time for fast detection and reduced cycle delays
  PNP output enabling direct interfacing with PLC inputs
  30V DC maximum supply for compatibility with common control systeMS
  100 mA maximum current draw to simplify power budgeting
  IP67 IP68 IP69K protection permitting wash‑down and immersion cleaning
  -25°C to 80°C operating range for varied ambient conditions

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object presence detection in packaging lines
  Ideal for robot end‑effector proximity monitoring in assembly cells
  Used for part detection where reflective backgrounds are present
  Can be used for wash‑down environments in food production plants
  Suitable for integration into machine safety and control loops

How is electrical connection achieved for control integration?

It uses a 4‑pin M12 Terminal offering a Compact glanded connection for power and PNP signal wiring.

What mechanical mounting options are available?

The threaded cylindrical housing allows secure insertion into mounting brackets or through‑panel fixtures with standard locking nuts.

How does the sensor cope with harsh cleaning processes?

The stainless steel enclosure combined with IP69K ingress rating resists high‑pressure, high‑temperature wash‑down procedures.

What approvals support use in international systems?

It meets CE and cULus standards enabling use across multiple regulatory regions.
