SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 0 → 4 m Detection Range IO-LINK

SICK W12G I/O-Link photoelectric sensors provide reliable detection of transparent objects. Capable of detecting PET bottles to thin, transparent films. The W12G series features a rugged metal housing with high electromagnetic compatibility, high immunity to chemical and thermal conditions, and excellent resistance to high pressure cleaning.

I/O-Link is the new communication standard for the integration of the sensors and actuators into automation systems. W12G I/O-Link can be parametrised and monitored via field bus. Preventative maintenance and service measures can be implemented, and changeover times for product or format changes can be significantly reduced.
