Sick Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 1.2 m Detection Range

OverviewThe incredibly small latest generation W2S-2 miniature photoelectric sensor offers completely new machine design possibilities. Intelligent features: the sensors feature background suppression that enables detection of black objects with a degree of reflection of 1%. The W2S-2 also offers world-class sensing distances in this housing size. Whether it is used in machines in the pharmaceutical industry, in logistics handling applications or in automatic assembly equipment, the ultra-compact W2S-2 offers optimal performance and high reliability in industrial environments. Industry 4.0 is already on board: Both the sensing distance as well as continuous monitoring are set via the controller. The W2S-2 reduces the load on the machine control by using a counter, timestamp and false tripping suppression functions. Programmable sensors, adjustable via a 3-turn potentiometer, and sensors with fixed sensing distances of 15 mm, 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm are also availableAt a glanceSensor with background suppression and without any significant black/white shift PinPoint 2.0 LED with extended sensing distances and high operating reserves A variety of application possibilities thanks to clearly-defined laser-like or line-shaped light spots Detection of highly-transparent and reflective objects using sensors with V-optics Photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation and a clearly visible light spotYour BenefitMachine design flexibility: the ultra-compact sensors offer above-average sensing distances and provide space-saving installation Remote setup: sensors installed in confined spaces can be set and monitored remotely via IO-Link. High operational reliability: ultrablack objects are detected with a degree of reflection of 1% Maximum reliability during object detection and option of a space-saving machine design without reflectors or through-beam systems Quick and easy commissioning: the photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation provides a clearly visible light spot for high process reliability Universal application options: wide range of models enclosed in a rugged housing Proven mounting and housing desigApplicationsDetection of transparent ampules and vials in the pharmaceutical industry Detection of solar cells Detection of modules in smartphone production Detection of small parts such as pins, screws and rings in mounting technology Detection of parts in grippers
