The Sick WL170-P430 is a high-performance photoelectric sensor designed for precision detection in a variety of industrial applications. This compact and durable sensor is engineered to offer reliable performance with a block-style form factor that ensures easy integration into existing systems. With dimensions of 12 mm x 37 mm x 28.6 mm, it is suitable for space-constrained environments.
Featuring a visible red light for detection, the WL170-P430 provides a maximum sensing range of 0.01 m to 4 m, depending on the reflector used, making it versatile for different operational requirements. The sensor operates with a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and has a low current consumption of less than or equal to 30 mA, ensuring energy efficiency.
The WL170-P430 comes with a PNP switching output and offers the flexibility of light/dark switching, which can be selected via an L/D control wire. It boasts a rapid response time of less than or equal to 0.7 ms, allowing for quick and accurate detection in fast-moving processes.
Constructed with a PMMA plastic optical lens, the sensor is rated with an IP67 protection class, signifying its robustness against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It can operate within a temperature range of –25 °C to +55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +70 °C.
The WL170-P430 is a reliable choice for those seeking a sensor that combines precision, adaptability, and durability for their automation and process control needs.
