SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

SICK W8 Laser Series Photoelectric Sensor, Laser Light Source, IP67 - WTB8L-P2211

This photoelectric sensor detects moving and small objects using a focused laser beam and background suppression. It is intended for industrial automation contexts where Rapid detection of parts is required, providing a rugged, sealed enclosure suitable for challenging environments while interfacing with common control systems.

Features and Benefits:

• Response time 250μs for Rapid object detection
  Operating range supports detection of small and fast-moving items
  IP67 rating for protection against dust and temporary immersion
  PNP output for easy integration with sourcing input logic
  Plastic housing with threaded mounting for flexible installation
  30V DC and 100mA limits compatible with standard control circuits

Applications

• Suitable for high-speed pick-and-place detection on conveyor lines
  Ideal for presence sensing of small components in assembly
  Used with PLC inputs that accept PNP sourcing signals
  Can be used in washdown-prone zones requiring sealed sensors
  Suitable for inline quality inspection of fast-moving parts

What electrical connection is provided for control wiring?

A four-pin Terminal arrangement supplies power and a single PNP switching output for signal wiring.

What ambient temperatures can it operate within?

The device functions across a -10°C to 50°C temperature range for typical industrial environments.

How is the unit mounted in machine frames or fixtures?

It incorporates through-hole and threaded mounting provisions to secure it to panels or brackets.

Which materials is the enclosure MADE from and how does that affect use?

The body is manufactured from plastic, reducing weight and offering chemical resistance suitable for many production-floor settings.

Are there conformity marks for international installations?

It carries CE and UL approvals to align with common regulatory requirements for industrial equipment.
