PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SICK 1125739 - Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
This SICK W4-3 series miniature photoelectric proximity sensor, model WTB4-3P2161, utilizes background suppression technology for reliable object detection in industrial automation environments. It provides a PNP switching output and is engineered for precise presence detection in applications such as material handling, packaging machinery, and assembly lines, where space constraints and accurate sensing are critical. The sensor integrates a visible red light source and offers adjustable sensing range via an onboard potentiometer.
