WT18-3P430 - Photoelectric Sensor - SICK

Product Description

The optical sensors of the W18-3 series from SICK can be found wherever it is necessary to reliably detect objects under difficult application conditions. Diffuse sensors with highly precise background suppression, reflex sensors with autocollimation principle or single beam sensors with large power reserves, the W18-3 series combines the latest technology in safe object detection with reliable availability right away. Irradiating stray lights, reflections from the background or light-absorbing objects to be detected do not put the W18-3 series in difficulty. In particularly critical applications, it is also possible to adapt the sensors to the special application conditions on site, in close cooperation with the customer, to achieve an optimal solution. Of course, the W18-3 series is also perfectly equipped for the future: IO-Link, the new communication standard for the sensors of the future, is already available
