SICK WTB27-3P2441 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor (Order Number: 1027744)
Product Overview
The SICK WTB27-3P2441 is a compact, background – suppression photoelectric proximity sensor from SICK’s W27 – 3 series, designed for reliable long – range object detection in industrial automation. It is ideal for applications like logistics sorting, packaging machinery, and material handling systems, where accurate identification of objects of various sizes, colors, and surface textures is required while ignoring background interference. The sensor uses PinPoint technology with an intense visible red LED light source (660 nm wavelength), ensuring a consistent light spot for precise detection without the need for laser safety compliance. Its rectangular housing with an IP67 protection rating enables reliable operation in harsh industrial environments with dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. The WTB27-3P2441 is CE – certified and RoHS – compliant, featuring a potentiometer for easy sensing range adjustment and an M12 4 – pin connector for quick integration, making it a versatile and robust solution for diverse industrial detection tasks.
Main Functions
- Long – Range Background – Suppressed Detection: It can detect objects within 100 mm – 1100 mm (with a maximum adjustable range of 30 mm – 1100 mm for 90% diffuse reflectance white objects per DIN 5033), effectively ignoring background surfaces to prevent false triggers, which is suitable for applications with complex backgroundsSICK.
- Adjustable Sensing and Switching Modes: A potentiometer allows precise calibration of the sensing distance, and selectable light/dark switching modes can be easily adapted to different application logic requirements without complex programmingSICK.
- Complementary PNP Output: The PNP complementary output provides two switching signals (NO and NC), enabling flexible integration with various industrial control systems and simplifying circuit designSICK.
- Stable Sensing Performance: The PinPoint red LED delivers a consistent light spot (Ø 15 mm at 500 mm), ensuring reliable detection of multi – colored and textured objects, and it is resistant to ambient light, optical reflections, and crosstalk from other sensors.
- Robust Environmental Adaptability: With an IP67 protection rating and an operating temperature range of – 40 °C to + 60 °C, it can withstand harsh industrial conditions such as dust, water jets, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Easy Installation and Diagnostics: The M12 4 – pin connector enables fast electrical connection, and built – in green and yellow LEDs indicate power, output state, and light – receiving status, facilitating quick troubleshooting during operation and maintenanceSICK.
