The Sick WT18-3P410 is a high-performance photoelectric proximity sensor designed to offer reliable and precise object detection in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor is part of the renowned WT18 Series and is known for its robust rectangular housing that ensures durability in challenging environments.
Featuring a PNP output type, the WT18-3P410 utilises an LED light source to detect the presence or absence of objects within its sensing range. The sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, making it versatile for integration into different electrical systems.
The sensor's ability to switch between light and dark operating modes adds to its flexibility, catering to diverse operational requirements. With a swift response time of less than 700 µs and a switching frequency of 700 Hz, the WT18-3P410 is capable of handling high-speed processes with ease.
The WT18-3P410 is equipped with a male connector M12, 4-pin for straightforward connectivity, and it boasts circuit protection features that safeguard against reverse polarity, interference, overcurrent, and short circuits. The sensor's housing is made from durable ABS plastic, and the optics are crafted from PMMA, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
With an IP67 enclosure rating, the WT18-3P410 is well-protected against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for use in a wide range of operating temperatures from –40 °C to +60 °C. This sensor is an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable and efficient solution for their automation needs.

What is the function of this photoelectric proximity sensor?
The WT18-3P410 is designed to detect the presence or absence of objects using a light beam, which is reflected back to the sensor from the target object. It's commonly used in automation systems for position detection and object counting.
Can this sensor be used in outdoor environments?
While the WT18-3P410 has an enclosure rating of IP67, making it dust-tight and protected against the effects of immersion, it's best to consult the specific environmental conditions and the datasheet to ensure suitability for outdoor use.
What type of output does this sensor provide?
The sensor provides a PNP output, which means it sources current to the output when an object is detected.
What is the supply voltage range for this sensor?
The sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC.
How is the switching distance adjusted on this sensor?
The switching distance on the WT18-3P410 can be adjusted using a potentiometer, which allows for precise control over the sensing range.
What materials are used in the construction of this sensor?
The housing of the sensor is made of ABS plastic, and the optics are made of PMMA plastic, providing a durable and reliable construction.
What is the maximum switching frequency of this sensor?
The maximum switching frequency of the sensor is 700 Hz, which indicates how quickly it can turn on and off in response to detected objects.
What type of light does this sensor use for detection?
The sensor uses infrared light emitted from an LED for object detection.
What is the response time of this sensor?
The response time of the sensor is less than 700 microseconds, which is the time taken for the sensor to respond to the presence of an object.
How can I connect this sensor to my system?
The sensor can be connected using a male M12, 4-pin connector, ensuring easy integration into various industrial systems.
