PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SICK 1116488 - Photoelectric Sensor, Background Suppression
This SICK W4-3 series miniature photoelectric sensor provides reliable object detection utilizing background suppression technology. Engineered for industrial automation, it delivers precise presence sensing in applications where reflective backgrounds or varying object colors could interfere with standard through-beam or retro-reflective sensors. The device integrates a PNP output and M8 connector for direct integration into control systems.
