The SICK WL12L - 2B530 photoelectric sensor excels in precision detection with a sensing range ≤ 100 mm. Emitting white light (400–700 nm), it ensures clear object recognition, even for tiny items (minimum 0.5 mm). Boasting a resolution of 1 micron and 0.05 mm repeat accuracy, it delivers reliable results in industrial automation. Its compact 31 × 62 × 52.2 mm square housing fits seamlessly into tight spaces, making it ideal for applications requiring high - precision measurement and alignment.
Engineered for harsh environments, the WL12L - 2B530 features an IP67 rating, protecting against dust and water ingress. Operating from –10 °C to +55 °C, its sturdy housing withstands temperature fluctuations. The 5 - pin M12 connector ensures stable electrical connections, while the 250 - gram weight balances durability and ease of installation. With protection against reverse polarity and short - circuits, this sensor guarantees long - term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
This sensor offers flexible output options—4–20 mA analog and PNP/NPN digital—suited for diverse automation needs. A 500 Hz switching frequency accommodates high - speed operations, while IO - Link and display settings simplify configuration. Perfect for packaging, logistics, and machinery, it detects objects efficiently, enhancing workflow efficiency. Whether used in material handling or assembly lines, the WL12L - 2B530 proves indispensable for optimizing industrial automation processes.
