Sick Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 5 m Detection Range

OverviewPrecise detection of small objects and object features. Reliable for use in harsh industrial environments: The W9 photoelectric sensor family offers a wider range of solutions than ever before. It is a complete product family, including photoelectric proximity sensors as well as photoelectric retro-reflective sensors and through-beam photoelectric sensors. All sensors are equipped with the latest laser and LED technology, protected by a rugged VISTAL® housing – for even stronger mechanical resistance. The W9 range works using SICKs SIRIC® technology optical and electromagnetic interference is effectively suppressed in any environment. With the addition of various connection, mounting and sensing options, the W9 sensor family is the ideal solution for a variety of application needs in the automation environment.At a glanceRugged VISTAL™ housing PinPoint LED or laser Photoelectric proximity sensor with sensing range of up to 800 mm Photoelectric retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation optics Through-beam photoelectric sensors with sensing ranges of up to 60 m SIRIC technology Connections: M8 and M12 male connector, cable as well as cable with male connector M3 and M4 hole patternYour BenefitPrecise detection of small objects and object features Detection of objects even through small openings Less machine downtime due to stable VISTAL™ housing as well as the suppression of optical interference The longest detection and sensing ranges in its class Best-in-class background suppression for photoelectric proximity sensors No blind spots, detection of shiny or transparent objects using photoelectric retro-reflective sensors A wide variety of connection and mounting options Highly visible light spot simplifies alignmentApplicationsTransport of transparent objects Measuring the height of the paper stack Paper tear monitor Presence check for paper Detection of paper edges Leading edge detection and presence checking Stack positioning Sheet presence and punch monitoring Sheet presence and position monitoring Presence monitoring and counting process Tool monitoring (in-die sensing) Fiber break monitoring Checking presence in an ultrasonic welding station Precise edge detection on wafer carriers End of spool detection of solar cell connector strings in stringer machine Presence detection during bagging
