PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SICK 1068259 - Photoelectric Sensor
This SICK WTB4-3P2161 photoelectric sensor is a compact, high-performance optical detection device from the W4-3 product family. It utilizes background suppression technology for reliable object detection independent of background reflectivity, making it suitable for precise presence detection, counting, and positioning tasks in automated machinery and material handling systems. The sensor integrates a PNP output and offers selectable light/dark switching, providing versatile control signal generation for industrial automation controllers.
