SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

SICK Series W2 Photoelectric Sensor, 30V Maximum DC Voltage, 50mA Maximum Current - WTB2S-2P1360

This photoelectric sensor detects small objects using background suppression and is designed for industrial automation environments. It operates from low-voltage DC supplies and is built for panel mounting with a Compact rectangular form factor. The unit is suitable for systems requiring fast detection and reliable signal switching in routine production and control applications.

Features and Benefits:

• Pinpoint LED light source for precise target discrimination
  PNP output for easy integration with PLC inputs
  0.5 MS response time enables Rapid process feedback
  IP67 ingress protection allows use in wet environments
  Operating range from -25 to 50°C supports varied site conditions
  Maximum 50 mA current draw minimises load on control circuits

Applications

• Suitable for object counting on conveyor lines with small parts
  Ideal for pick-and-place verification in assembly stations
  Used for presence detection in Compact panel-mounted installations
  Can be used in machine safety resets requiring fast sensor response

What housing materials are used and why does that matter?

The enclosure uses ABS and polycarbonate, offering a balance of impact resistance and electrical insulation for industrial handling.

How is the sensor terminated for system wiring?

Connections are provided via a fixed wire cable Terminal for direct attachment to control wiring looms.

What electrical limits should be observed when installing it?

The device must not exceed 30V DC or a continuous current draw beyond 50 mA to maintain correct operation.

Which certified standards does it comply with?

It carries CE and cULus approvals indicating conformity with relevant European and North American safety and performance requirements.
