SICK Photoelectric Sensor, IP67, PNP Output - VL180-2P41131F38


This photoelectric sensor is designed for detection tasks in industrial automation, delivering reliable object sensing in retroreflective arrangements. Built for installation onto a flange, it operates across a broad temperature range and connects via a standard 4-pin M12 Interface for straightforward integration into control systems.

Features & Benefits


• Retroreflective detection with LED light source offers precise sensing performance
• PNP output supports easy interfacing with PLCs and control inputs
• IP67-rated enclosure enables use in dust and washdown environments
• Response time 500μs permits high-speed detection in fast processes
• Maximum 30V DC operation limits supply requirements for safety planning
• Maximum current 100mA reduces load on upstream drivers or switches

**Applications**


• Suitable for PMMA panel presence checks on extrusion lines
• Ideal for object sensing on conveyor sorting lanes
• Used with automated assembly stations requiring flange mounting
• Can be used for quality inspection where non-contact detection is required

What connection method does it use for wiring into automation panels?


It employs a 4-pin M12 connector that mates with common industrial cabling assemblies for secure signal and power transmission.

Which materials is the sensor sensitive to in reflective mode?


It is specified for detecting polymethyl methacrylate, making it appropriate for clear or translucent plastic components.

How does the housing composition affect installation durability?


The combination of nickel-plated brass and polycarbonate provides mechanical robustness and corrosion resistance at mounting points.

What environmental temperatures can it tolerate during continuous operation?


It is rated to operate down to -25°C and up to 55°C, covering typical plant-floor climate conditions.
