PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SICK 1133531 - Photoelectric Proximity Sensor with Background Suppression
This SICK W4-3 series miniature photoelectric proximity sensor, model WTB4-3P2161, provides reliable object detection through background suppression technology. Utilizing a precise PinPoint red light LED, it is engineered for applications requiring accurate presence sensing of small objects, independent of background reflectivity. Its compact form factor and robust electrical protection make it suitable for integration into automated machinery, material handling systems, and assembly lines where space is constrained.
