The Sick WTB27-3P2461 is a state-of-the-art proximity sensor from the W27-3 Series, designed to offer reliable and precise detection in a variety of industrial applications. Engineered for performance, this compact light barrier operates within a 10 to 30 V dc range and maintains a low current consumption of ≤35 mA, ensuring energy efficiency.
With dimensions of 24.6 x 54 x 92.8 mm, the sensor is built to fit seamlessly into tight spaces without compromising functionality. It features a robust rectangular housing that can withstand challenging industrial environments while providing an IP69K enclosure rating, signifying high protection against ingress of dust and water.
The sensor utilises a visible red light source with a pinpoint LED, which offers a focused light spot size of Ø 12 mm at 800 mm distance, enhancing detection accuracy. The light operates at a wavelength of 660 nm, and the sensitivity can be easily adjusted via an integrated potentiometer, allowing for customisation to specific application requirements.
This proximity sensor is capable of detecting objects within a range of up to 2,000 mm, making it versatile for a wide range of positioning, counting, and monitoring tasks. The quick response time of ≤1.5 ms and a switching frequency of 350 Hz enable it to handle high-speed operations with ease.
The Sick WTB27-3P2461 is equipped with a PNP switching output and offers light/dark switching capabilities, providing flexibility in signal processing. The sensor also includes circuit protection features to ensure stable operation and longevity.
Ideal for automation tasks where space is at a premium and precision is paramount, the Sick WTB27-3P2461 proximity sensor is a reliable choice for enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy in your industrial processes.
