Photoelectric sensor

New from SICK (UK), the
WLL180T photoelectric sensor with
fibre-optic cable boasts a response
time of just 16µs and has been
developed to enable rapid, reliable
object detection of fast production
processes, even in hard-to-reach
machine and system locations.

The WLL180T, which can detect
even the fastest process operations
– up to 31,250 per second, without
the loss of reliability – is suitable for
use in the semiconductor,
electronics, and pharmaceutical
industries, as well as in assembly
handling and robotics.

The sensor is able to achieve
high scanning ranges, of up to 20m,
even in ambient conditions.
