The SICK WS/WE45-P260 (Part No. 1010985) is a high-performance through-beam photoelectric sensor set, meticulously engineered to deliver precision detection over exceptionally long distances. With its infrared LED light source, it can reliably detect objects across a typical sensing range of 0–300 meters, extending to a maximum of 350 meters under optimal conditions. This capacity makes it ideal for demanding industrial applications such as perimeter monitoring, large-scale material handling, and extended-range automation tasks.

Speed is at the core of its performance. The sensor responds in ≤ 500 microseconds and supports a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, accommodating rapid object motion and enabling highly responsive control systems. Such swift reaction times ensure minimal latency, essential in fast-moving manufacturing lines or safety-critical detection zones.

Flexibility is another hallmark. An integrated time-delay selector switch offers adjustable delay configurations ranging from 0.015 seconds up to 12 seconds, including both ON and OFF delays. This feature empowers fine-tuning of signal timing to match specific process requirements—whether debouncing signals, staging operations, or coordinating multiple sensors.

Designed for durability, the WS/WE45-P260 boasts a rugged metal housing rated IP67, offering dust-tight and water-protected operation. It remains fully functional in environments between –25 °C and +55 °C, ensuring resilience in fluctuating industrial climates. The sensor delivers a PNP complementary output, capable of up to 200 mA, guaranteeing robust switching performance for driving external loads or interfacing with logic circuits.

Furthermore, built-in LEDs provide status visibility and assist with alignment, while a sturdy terminal connection with PG13.5, 6-pin interface ensures secure and reliable wiring setup. Combined, these features make the WS/WE45-P260 a versatile, high-precision solution tailored for environments that demand long-distance sensing, rapid detection, customizable timing, and uncompromised reliability.

In summary, the SICK WS/WE45-P260 sets a high bar among through-beam sensors—boasting remarkable range, speed, adjustability, and ruggedness—making it exceptionally suited for complex, high-demand industrial setups.
