SICK VTB180-2P42412 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS

The SICK VTB180-2P42412 is an industrial photoelectric proximity sensor designed for reliable object detection in automation and control applications. It uses visible red LED light with background suppression technology to detect objects while reducing interference from background surfaces. The sensor supports a maximum sensing range of 350 mm, with a rated sensing range of 30–200 mm under specified reference conditions. Its compact M18 threaded cylindrical housing allows convenient installation in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, packaging equipment and material-handling applications.

The sensor features a PNP switching output, adjustable sensing distance and light/dark switching selection through a control cable. It operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and provides a 4-pin M12 male connector for electrical connection. Its robust metal housing and IP67 protection rating make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
