SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Compact Sensor, 100 → 2500 mm, Relay, IP67

SICK W34 Series Photoelectric Sensor, IP67, 0.5ms Response Time - WT34-R210S02

This photoelectric sensor is a Compact optical detector designed for background suppression in industrial automation environments. It operates with an LED light source and is housed in an ABS plastic enclosure rated for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for integration into control systems that require non-contact presence detection and reliable signal switching.

Features & Benefits

• Response time 0.5ms for high-speed detection and fast control loops
  Relay output enabling straightforward integration with legacy controls
  IP67 ingress protection for use in wet or dusty environments
  Operates from DC up to 250V to suit varied plant voltages
  Threaded mount with M16 gland for secure, reproducible installation
  Rated for -40 to 60°C allowing use across wide temperature ranges

**Applications**

• Suitable for conveyor object detection where background suppression is required
  Ideal for presence sensing in packaging and material-handling equipment
  Used for proximity monitoring in electrical panel installations
  Can be used for part detection in robotic pick-and-place systems

How is the sensor terminated for connection in a control cabinet?

It uses an M16 gland Terminal Interface that provides a sealed cable entry and straightforward wiring to control circuits.

What body material should I expect when mounting near moving parts?

The enclosure is constructed from ABS plastic, offering mechanical stability while remaining lightweight for Compact installations.

Which approvals support deployment across UK and EU facilities?

It carries certifications applicable to UK and EU markets as well as ACMA, RoHS, and cULus listings, enabling compliance with common industrial requirements.

How does the device perform when used outdoors or in washdown areas?

The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion, allowing operation in harsh ambient conditions.
