Model:       WTB140-P430

Type:         Photoelectric Sensor

Introduction:

SICK proudly presents the WTB140-P430, a cutting-edge photoelectric proximity sensor featuring background suppression. This state-of-the-art sensor epitomizes SICK’s global reputation for delivering innovative and reliable sensor solutions tailored for diverse industrial applications.

Employing the principle of photoelectric proximity, this sensor utilizes visible red light emitted from an LED source to detect object presence without physical contact. When an object enters its sensing range, the reflected light triggers a precise response, ensuring accurate detection even in challenging conditions.

Characterized by a compact, rectangular housing (11 mm x 31 mm x 20 mm), crafted from resilient plastic (PBT), the sensor guarantees longevity and resistance to wear and tear. The optics material, PC plastic, enhances light transmission properties, contributing to its precision.

With a remarkable sensing range spanning from 2 mm to 500 mm, the sensor adapts seamlessly to various applications, ranging from small parts detection to recognizing large objects. This flexibility positions it as a versatile solution for a wide array of industrial needs.

Operating on a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, with a current consumption of 30 mA, the sensor features a PNP switching output and offers both light and dark switching modes. The light/dark switching mode can be effortlessly selected via a rotary switch, providing operational adaptability in diverse conditions.

Equipped with a 4-pin M8 male connector and boasting an IP67 enclosure rating, the sensor ensures a robust connection while resisting dust and withstanding temporary immersion in water. This feature makes it an ideal choice for deployment in harsh industrial environments where reliability is paramount.

With the ability to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +55 °C and the capability to be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +70 °C, the sensor guarantees reliable performance across diverse climatic conditions.

With a 711-year MTTFD and 0% DCavg, the sensor prioritizes reliability and operational safety. It also carries eCl@ss 5.0-11.0, ETIM 5.0-7.0, and UNSPSC 16.0901 classifications for global standardization.

In conclusion, the SICK Sensor WTB140-P430 emerges as a robust, reliable, and versatile solution that aptly addresses the demands of diverse industrial applications. Its advanced features and specifications position it as the preferred choice for professionals seeking unparalleled precision and adaptability in the field of industrial sensing.
