WT150-P460 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP 100mm IP67 | SICK

The Original New SICK WT150-P460 (6011050) is a miniature photoelectric proximity sensor from the W150 series, designed for precise object detection using background suppression technology. Its compact 10 × 28 × 18 mm rectangular housing and visible red LED light source make it ideal for space-constrained industrial applications where reliable, background-independent sensing is required. The sensor provides a PNP output with selectable light/dark switching and is configured via a 5-turn potentiometer for quick on-site adjustment. Rated IP67, it is engineered for demanding factory automation, packaging, and material handling environments.
