SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor

Overview

At a glance

• Robust die-cast zinc housing with IP 69K protection class
• Operating elements protected by a hood
• High ambient light immunity of the proximity sensors
• Switchable: PNP/NPN and light/dark switching
• DC or AC/DC type with UL approval
• Optional: test input, time delays, contamination signaling at the alarm output, and front-screen heating, also available in a high-power version
• M12 male connector or M16 screw connection: rotatable through 90°

Your Benefit

• Rugged metal housing that has passed IP 69K testing offers reliability and a long service life
• Immune to ambient light and crosstalk, which improves detection security
• Long-range retro-reflective and through-beam versions have a very high operating reserve, which ensures reliable operation even when if sensor is contaminated
• Ensuring reliable operation in environments with temperatures fluctuation due to standard or high-power front lens heating (prevention and reduction of condensation water on the front lens)
• Variants with DC voltage and universal AC/DC voltage provide installation flexibility

The W24 features a rugged metal housing that has passed IP 69K testing, which ensures reliability in harsh industrial conditions. These sensors are highly resistant to ambient light and offer a very long sensing range with a high operating reserve. As a result, there are optional a standard front lens heating or a high-power front lens heating versions, similar to automotive rear window defrost, for use in environments with extreme temperatures fluctuation. An alarm output option enables early detection of contamination, reducing downtime that results from contamination interruptions. Variants with DC voltage and universal voltage DC/AC and multiple connectivity options provide additional flexibility within the W24 family.
The sensors are conform with the 2G category for explosive zones, which enhances their range of applications even further.

Applications

• Positioning of coils before and after the coiling machine
• Proper orientation of goods on conveyor systems during post production logistics
• Product detection on processing machines during post production logistics
