SICK Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

SICK W150 Series Photoelectric Sensor, Diffuse Detection Type, IP67 - WT150-P430

This photoelectric sensor is a Compact diffuse LED proximity detector designed for industrial automation and machine-control environments. It detects objects across a short to medium range using visible red light and switches a PNP output to signal presence or absence. The unit is intended for inline mounting with a supplied bracket and connects via a standard M8 4-pin interface.

Features & Benefits

• 10V–30V DC supply supports common control voltages and systems
  Response time less than or equal to 0.5ms enables high-speed detection and Rapid control loops
  Sensing range up to 200mm on typical white targets for short-range tasks
  IP67 enclosure allows use in washdown and dusty environments
  Output current less than or equal to 100mA permits direct interfacing with many inputs
  ABS and polycarbonate housing provides lightweight mechanical protection

**Applications**

• Suitable for object detection on conveyor lanes in packaging lines
  Ideal for registration sensing on pick-and-place equipment
  Used for presence checks on control panels and small assemblies
  Can be used for inspection tasks requiring visible red-light detection
  Suitable for use where quick switching is required in automated cells

What connector type does it use for wiring?

It employs a male M8 4-pin connector for quick plug-in installation with sensor cables.

How is sensing distance adjusted on-site?

Range is set using an on-board potentiometer with about 270° travel for fine tuning.

Which indicators assist commissioning and diagnostics?

A green stability LED and an Orange output LED show signal quality and switching state.

What are the environmental temperature limits for operation?

It operates between −25°C to +55°C and can be stored between −40°C to +75°C.

What switching modes are available for integration?

The unit supports light/dark switching selectable via a control cable for application flexibility.
