The SICK WL260 - S270 is a photoelectric sensor that operates on the retro - reflective principle. It utilizes a dual - lens system for enhanced detection accuracy. With a red LED light source, it can detect objects within a range of 0.01 m to 15 m. The polarized filter is a remarkable feature, as it enables the sensor to reliably detect even shiny or reflective objects. This makes it ideal for industrial applications where dealing with materials like metals or plastics with glossy surfaces is common. For example, in a packaging line, it can accurately sense the presence of shiny product containers without false triggering.
This sensor offers great flexibility in terms of power supply. It can operate on a wide voltage range, from 12 VDC to 240 VDC and 24 VAC to 240 VAC. The power consumption is ≤ 5 VA, which is relatively low, contributing to energy - efficient operation. The switching output is a relay, which is electrically isolated and has change - over contacts. It can handle a switching current of 3 A at 240 VAC or 30 VDC. The response time is ≤ 20 ms, allowing for quick detection and response in fast - paced industrial processes. Whether in a high - speed conveyor system or a precision assembly line, the WL260 - S270 can keep up with the demands.
The WL260 - S270 is built to last in various industrial environments. It has an enclosure rated at IP67, providing excellent protection against dust and water ingress. The housing is made of plastic (ABS), which is both lightweight and durable. The optics are made of plastic (PMMA), ensuring good light transmission and resistance to wear. It can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from - 25 °C to 55 °C, and can be stored in temperatures from - 40 °C to + 70 °C. The sensor comes with a mounting bracket and a reflector (P250), and its terminal chamber is easily accessible, simplifying installation and maintenance.
