Information About WL260-S230
The WL260-S230 is part of SICK’s WL260 photoelectric sensor series, developed for robust detection tasks requiring extended sensing distances. It operates as a retro-reflective photoelectric switch, detecting objects by interrupting a reflected light beam from a reflector. The sensor features an SPDT relay output, allowing direct switching of higher-load circuits without additional interface components. Designed for industrial use, it supports both AC and DC supply voltages and maintains consistent performance under varying electrical conditions.
Key Features:
- Retro-Reflective Sensing Principle: Detects objects reliably using a reflector-based optical path.
- Long Sensing Range: Supports detection distances up to 11 meters.
- SPDT Relay Output: Enables direct control of AC or DC loads without external relays.
- Wide Supply Voltage Range: Operates from 12 VDC up to 240 VAC for flexible system integration.
- High Switching Capacity: Rated for loads up to 3 A.
- Industrial Response Speed: 20 ms response time supports standard automation processes.
- Rugged Sensor Design: Built for continuous operation in industrial environments.
The WL260-S230 delivers the reliability and precision required for long-range retro-reflective object detection in industrial automation systems.
