SICK Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 0 → 20 m Detection Range IO-LINK

SICK W12-3 photoelectric sensors with I/O-Link. The W12-3 series offers clear advantages over conventional optical sensors in respect of object detection and sensor monitoring.
I/O-Link is the new communication standard for the integration of the sensors and actuators into automation systems. W12-3 I/O-Link can be parametrised and monitored via field bus. Preventative maintenance and service measures can be implemented and changeover times for product or format changes can be significantly reduced.

Reliable object detection
Integration into high speed processes
Precise and fast switching
Diverse target sensing; from dark to transparent
Sensor adapts to the machine design
Dovetail mounting
Plug rotatable through 270°
High EMC resistance
IP 69K

Sick I/O-Link Photoelectric Sensors

With its line of Smart Sensor Solutions powered by I/O-Link, SICK offers a range of products providing solutions that optimize the automation technology used in machines and systems.

I/O-Link is the first standardised I/O technology worldwide (IEC 61131-9) for the communication with sensors and actuators. I/O-Link provides a point-to-point connection located in any given network.
