SICK Photoelectric Sensor, IP67, PNP Output Type - VL180-2P42431F38


This photoelectric sensor is a retro-reflective detector designed for industrial automation applications. It provides object detection using an LED light source and is housed in a Compact barrel form suitable for flange mounting in machinery and control systems. The unit is built to operate across a wide ambient temperature range and connects via a 4‑pin M12 electrical interface.

Features & Benefits


• IP67 enclosure for use in dusty or wet workplaces
• PNP switching output for direct PLC interfacing
• 500μs response time for Rapid detection and control
• Operates from 0 to 30 V DC for low-voltage systems
• Withstands currents up to 100mA to drive typical loads
• Nickel‑plated brass and polycarbonate body for mechanical resilience

**Applications**


• Suitable for presence detection of polymethyl methacrylate parts on conveyor lines
• Ideal for assembly stations requiring fast object sensing
• Used with automated sorting equipment in electronics manufacturing
• Can be used for end‑of‑travel sensing on Compact actuators

What connector type allows for quick field wiring?


It uses a 4‑pin M12 connector to simplify installation and replacement.

How does the sensor cope with temperature variations on plant?


The device is rated to operate between −25°C to 55°C to suit typical indoor industrial environments.

What materials is the detector able to sense reliably?


The optical arrangement is suitable for detecting items MADE from polymethyl methacrylate when used with a retro‑reflective target.
