SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

SICK W150 Series Photoelectric Sensor, Background Suppression Detection Type, IP67 - WT150-P162

This photoelectric sensor provides reliable object detection using background suppression for automation and control tasks. Housed in polycarbonate and ABS, it operates in typical industrial environments and connects via an integral cable. The unit uses an LED light source and offers a PNP switched output for straightforward integration with common control systems.

Features and Benefits:

• 0.5ms response time enables high-speed detection
  100mA maximum current supports low-power control circuits
  30V DC maximum voltage allows easy Interface with 24V systems
  IP67 rating permits operation in wet or dusty conditions
  PNP output simplifies sourcing-type wiring arrangements
  Bracket mount arrangement eases secure installation

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object presence detection in packaging lines
  Ideal for part counting in assembly automation
  Used with robotic feeding systems requiring fast response
  Can be used for end-of-travel sensing on pick-and-place devices
  Suitable for level control of small component hoppers

What temperature range can it tolerate during normal operation?

It functions across an ambient span from -25 to 55°C without derating of listed electrical limits.

How is the sensor terminated for connection to control equipment?

The device is supplied with a fixed cable termination for direct wiring to controllers or junction points.

What certifications ensure suitability for industrial installations?

It meets CE and cULus approvals for use in applicable European and North American installations.

What is the construction material and its practical benefit?

The enclosure uses polycarbonate and ABS to balance impact resistance with weight considerations for mounted sensors.
