RS PRO Through Beam Receiver Photoelectric Sensor, Barrel Sensor

SICK V180 Series Photoelectric Sensor, PNP Output, IP67 - VSE180-2P42432F38

This photoelectric sensor is a through-beam detection device designed for industrial sensing within automated and electromechanical systems. It uses an LED light source to detect polymethyl methacrylate and other materials across a beam path, offering a compact, mixed-material housing suited to environments requiring a sealed sensor.

Features & Benefits

• IP67 rating enables operation in wet and dusty environments
  PNP output simplifies integration with positive-switching controls
  500μs response time supports high-speed detection tasks
  100mA maximum current allows use with standard control circuits
  30V DC maximum voltage suits common low-voltage industrial systems
  Flange mount permits secure, repeatable installation

**Applications**

• Suitable for conveyor object detection in packaging lines
  Ideal for component presence sensing in assembly equipment
  Used with machine guards for beam-break safety monitoring
  Can be used for material-handling position feedback
  Suitable for inspection stations detecting polymethyl methacrylate parts

What materials make up the sensor housing and why does that matter?

The enclosure combines nickel-plated brass, polycarbonate and metal to balance mechanical robustness, corrosion resistance and impact tolerance for varied industrial settings.

What Terminal connection is provided for wiring?

Wiring is terminated via screw terminals to allow secure electrical connections and straightforward field installation.

What approvals and standards does it meet for global deployment?

It carries approvals covering EU, UK, ACMA, China RoHS and cULus to align with multiple regional conformity requirements.

What operating temperature range should be expected during deployment?

The device operates between -25°C and 55°C, permitting use across typical factory ambient conditions.
