Sick Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Miniature Sensor, 4.5 m Detection Range IO-LINK

With the W4F, high performance and smart automation are now also available in a miniature size. The miniature sensor is the perfect complement to the product range of a new generation of opto-electronic sensors such as the W16 and W26 and, thanks to the new ASIC technology from SICK, consistently delivers extremely reliable detection results. This allows for versatile use in a wide range of challenging installation situations. Thanks to Foreground Suppression, Double Line, V-optics and MultiSwitch, the W4F is a high-performance application specialist: Background suppression is improved, and flat, highly-reflective and transparent objects are detected even more precisely.

Technologies: Foreground Suppression, Double Line, V-optics and MultiSwitch
Two switching points and distance value output in one device
Diffuse sender LED for ambient light suppression
BluePilot: Teach-Turn adjustment with optical sensing range and alignment aid
Smart Sensor: Latest diagnostics and monitoring functions
VISTAL housing

Solution for particularly challenging detection tasks in tight installation spaces
Very high reliability through powerful background suppression and excellent detection of flat, highly-reflective and transparent objects
Two switching points as well as the output of distance values expand the application possibilities
Flexible use thanks to high optical reliability

In addition, the W4F as Smart Sensors make monitoring and diagnostics easier than ever before and enable future-proof use in I4.0 plants.

The highly-visible light spot combined with the intuitive BluePilot operating interface enables set-up in mere seconds
Maximum monitoring and process reliability thanks to intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance As Smart Sensors, fit for Industry 4.0
