SICK W26 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR

SICK WTB26P-24161120A00 –

Product Description

The SICK WTB26P-24161120A00 is a photoelectric sensor from the W26 family, designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation applications. Photoelectric sensors use light to detect the presence, position, or movement of objects without requiring physical contact. The WTB26 series is designed for demanding industrial environments where dependable detection and robust operation are important.

As a background-suppression photoelectric sensor, the WTB26P variant is intended to detect objects within a defined sensing area while reducing unwanted switching caused by objects or surfaces behind the target. This makes it useful for detecting packages, components, containers, and other objects on conveyor systems and automated production lines.

The sensor can support applications such as material handling, packaging machinery, assembly stations, and product positioning. Its actual performance depends on the selected model configuration, target material, installation distance, ambient conditions, and electrical connection.
