The Sick WL4S-3P2230 is a compact and versatile photoelectric sensor designed for a wide range of automation and control applications. This miniature sensor is part of the W4S-3 series, known for its reliability and efficiency in detecting objects with precision.
Crafted with a slim, rectangular form factor, the WL4S-3P2230 is engineered to fit into tight spaces where traditional sensors may not be suitable. It features a robust ABS plastic housing and a PMMA optical lens, ensuring durability and consistent performance in various industrial environments. The sensor is rated with IP67 and IP66 protection classes, making it resistant to dust and water ingress, and suitable for use in harsh conditions.
The WL4S-3P2230 operates with a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and has a low current consumption of 20 mA, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous operation. It offers a PNP digital output and can handle an output current of up to 100 mA. With a quick response time of less than 0.5 ms and a high switching frequency of 1000 Hz, this sensor is capable of detecting fast-moving objects with ease.
The sensor utilises visible red light with a wavelength of 650 nm, providing a clear and focused light spot for accurate detection. It can operate within a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +60 °C, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme temperatures.
The WL4S-3P2230 is equipped with various protective circuits, including polarity reversal protection, interference suppression, and short-circuit protection, enhancing its operational safety and longevity.
This photoelectric sensor is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise object detection, including packaging, material handling, and automated manufacturing processes. Its miniature size, combined with its robust construction and advanced features, make the Sick WL4S-3P2230 a smart choice for businesses looking to optimise their automation systems.
