SICKWTB16I-24162120A00Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 10 → 1500 mm Detection Range IO-LINK

Overview

The W16 is equipped with new technologies such as Twin Eye, Line Spot, ClearSens and OptoFilter for reliable object detection. It can be quickly and conveniently adjusted via the Blue Pilot operating and display concept. Since every W16 is designed as a Smart Sensor, it can be configured to fit the application via IO-Link and offers additional diagnostic functions and Smart Tasks. It is therefore a trailblazer on the path to Industry 4.0. The highly-visible Pinpoint LED and the infrared LED are available as the light source.

The durable laser inscription ensures device identification in the long run. Thanks to the very rugged VISTAL® housing and the predictive maintenance, the W16 offers very high reliability and prevents unplanned machine downtimes.
