Sick Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 4.5 m Detection Range / 2054905

OverviewThe WL4SLG-3 detects all types of objects, including transparent vials, PET bottles, metallic needles, and wires, The precise, highly visible laser light spot ensures a high level of detection quality and facilitates sensor alignment. Autocollimation technology ensures that the sensor reliably detects objects at close range and through small drilled holes. The sensor uses automatic switching threshold adaptation to adjust automatically to changing light conditions, helping ensure maintenance-free system operation. The photoelectric sensors also provide an IO-Link interface to allow performing initial system performance diagnostics. In addition, IO-Link permits the integration of additional functions such as meters directly into the sensor. There is no need for complex control programming.At a glancePrecise laser light spot, laser class 1 Teach-in button can be switched between detection of transparent and smallest non-transparent objects Automatic switching threshold adaptation provides automatic adjustment to changes in light conditions Sensing ranges up to 4.5 m Autocollimation optics prevent blind spots Choice of adjustment via teach-in button, potentiometer, cable, or IO-LinkYour BenefitOne device for detecting both transparent objects and the smallest non-transparent objects at sensing ranges up 4.5 m, thus reducing the variety of sensors and saving on storage costs. Highly visible, even laser light spot with a sharp contour to facilitate alignment The highest degree of machine design flexibility. Autocollimation permits detection even through small drilled holes. High-quality sensor manufacturing and testing reduce maintenance costs Established and proven housing design for easy installation IO-Link facilitates initial system performance diagnostics and uses additional sensor functions to reduce complex control programmingApplicationsOverhang control – sensor avoids overhanging panels Precise object positioning – Monitoring the exact position of a part in order to prepare a quality check Precise edge detection of glass panel Monitoring additional features of a part such as boreholes Check whether a part is located in the gripper of the robot Application are, e.g. at the packaging, automotive and part supplier, electronic and solar industry, machine building and the industries of commercial goods
