Product family overview The high-flyers in intelligent automation PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS Advantages A IN INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION LYERS B C D E Reliable alignment in seconds with BluePilot F With the intuitive "BluePilot" operating concept, sensors of the W4F product family can be aligned particularly conveniently and precisely. The blue LED display gives the user direct feedback for optimal alignment. The photoelectric sensors can be precisely adjusted in a very short time via a push-turn mechanism. In addition, BluePilot provides a visual indication if the detection quality should drop due to contamination or vibration, allowing faults to be corrected...

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS Outstanding detection results in almost any application Whether with particularly flat, highly reflective, perforated or transparent objects: The W4F offers a wide range of technologies to ensure reliable detection results in the most diverse applications. For example, with the coordinated optical concept of the V-optics, which reliably detects transparent objects such as glass panes or highly reflective objects such as displays. With highly reflective and at the same time very flat objects such as chocolate bars, cookies or assemblies, the photoelectric proximity...

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS Rugged design for demanding ambient conditions Sturdy as steel, light as plastic: The smart interior of the W4F photoelectric sensors is protected by an ultra-rugged housing made of VISTAL®. This is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic and thus easily withstands extreme thermal, chemical or mechanical loads. In combination with its small dimensions, the sensor is optimally suited for use in automation applications of all kinds. Thanks to the ultra-rugged VISTAL® housing, the sensor operates safely and reliably even under harsh ambient conditions. Whether dirt, heat or...

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS dently as soon as process parameters such as temperature or degree of contamination deviate too much. Should a sensor still fail, the extensive diagnostic data enables rapid identification of the cause and elimination of the problem. At critical temperatures, the W4F can automatically initiate maintenance, thus preventing failures. The possibility of foresighted and dePositioning tasks can be performed via mand-oriented device and system mainte- the output of distance values. nance minimizes failure risks. The output of remission values of the objects to be detected...

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS Technical data overview Dimensions (W x H x D) Light source Visible red light / Infrared light (depending on type) Enclosure rating Housing material Plastic VISTAL® Product description With the W4F, high performance and smart automation are now also available in a miniature size. The miniature sensor is the perfect complement to the product range of a new generation of opto-electronic sensors such as the W16 and W26 and, thanks to the new ASIC technology from SICK, consistently delivers extremely reliable detection results. This allows for versatile use in a wide range...
