Specification & Description

The Sick WTF12-3N2431 is a compact photoelectric sensor designed for precision detection tasks in a variety of industrial applications. This small yet robust sensor is equipped with a rectangular metal housing that measures 15.6 mm x 48.5 mm x 42 mm, ensuring it can be easily integrated into tight spaces within machinery and conveyor systems.

With a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, the WTF12-3N2431 offers flexibility in terms of power requirements and is suitable for use in environments with fluctuating voltages, maintaining a ripple of less than 5 Vpp. The sensor's current consumption is a modest 45 mA, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous operation.

The sensor features an NPN digital output, capable of handling an output current of up to 100 mA. It provides a quick response time of less than or equal to 330 µs and a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz, which allows for fast and reliable detection of objects moving at high speeds.

One of the key advantages of the WTF12-3N2431 is its switching mode, which includes light/dark switching and a complementary output function. This versatility enables the sensor to adapt to different target reflectivities and backgrounds, enhancing its detection capabilities.

For durability and longevity, the sensor is constructed with a metal housing and a PMMA plastic front screen, and it boasts an impressive enclosure rating of IP66, IP67, and IP69K. These ratings indicate a high level of protection against dust, water, and other environmental factors, making the sensor suitable for harsh industrial conditions.

The WTF12-3N2431 operates effectively within a wide ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C, ensuring reliable performance in both cold and hot environments. Additionally, it can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +75 °C.

This sensor is an ideal solution for automation tasks that require precise object detection, including packaging, material handling, and assembly processes. Its compact design, combined with its high level of protection and efficient operation, makes the Sick WTF12-3N2431 a valuable addition to any industrial setting where space is at a premium and performance cannot be compromised.
