SICK WL9‑3P2462 1049061 W9‑3 Photoelectric Retro‑reflective Sensor PNP 400mm M12

SICK WL9‑3P2462 is a retro‑reflective photoelectric sensor from the W9 series. Autocollimation design with PinPoint LED visible red light (650 nm) and polarising filter for reliable detection of glossy, reflective, and small objects. Maximum sensing range 0.4 m. VISTAL® plastic housing rated IP66, IP67, IP69K. Single teach‑in button for adjustment. PNP output with selectable light/dark switching, M12 4‑pin male connector. Suitable for small part detection, packaging lines, and high‑speed automation.

Applications:

• Small part detection in pick‑and‑place and assembly automation

• Object positioning on high‑speed conveyor and sorting systems

• Packaging machinery for bottle, container, and label detection
