- Ultra‚Äëcompact sensor with background suppression: Provides highly reliable detection of glossy, transparent, perforated, and flat objects, using advanced background suppression technology in a space-saving miniature housing.
- Precise PinPoint red LED with sharp light spot: Uses a visible red LED (635 nm) to create a narrow, focused light spot with a diameter of 4.2 mm at 130 mm, enabling accurate object detection and easy alignment in tight spaces.
- Wide detection range with high-speed response: Detects objects from as close as 4 mm up to 220 mm with a fast response time of ≤ 500 µs and switching frequency up to 1,000 Hz—ideal for dynamic automation systems.
- Durable VISTAL® housing with Push‑Pull output: Enclosed in a rugged, chemical-resistant VISTAL® plastic body rated IP66 and IP67, featuring a flexible Push‑Pull output for both PNP and NPN wiring schemes.
The Sick WTB4FP‑1G311120ZZZ (part number 1223018) is a premium miniature photoelectric sensor designed for high-performance object detection in compact industrial environments. Belonging to the renowned W4 series, this sensor integrates advanced background suppression, enabling it to distinguish objects from backgrounds with exceptional precision—even when the targets are shiny, flat, or transparent. It is ideally suited for use in applications such as packaging, logistics, bottling, and electronics assembly.
Equipped with a highly visible PinPoint red LED emitter, the sensor delivers a focused and stable light spot, measuring just 4.2‚ÄØmm in diameter at 130‚ÄØmm distance. This precision makes alignment easy and ensures reliable object detection, even in tight installation spaces or with small or irregularly shaped objects. Its operating range extends from 4‚ÄØmm to 220‚ÄØmm, providing versatility across short and mid-range sensing tasks.
Speed is a strong suit of the WTB4FP‚Äë1G311120ZZZ. With a response time of 500‚ÄØmicroseconds and a switching frequency of up to 1,000‚ÄØHz, it is fully capable of meeting the demands of fast-paced automation systems where timing and accuracy are critical.
The sensor is designed for durability and adaptability. Its compact rectangular housing is constructed from robust VISTAL® plastic, resistant to mechanical stress and harsh chemicals. The front optical surface is made of PMMA, and the entire unit is sealed to IP66 and IP67 standards, protecting it from dust and water ingress.
Connectivity is provided via a 2-meter PVC cable, and the sensor’s Push‑Pull output supports both sourcing (PNP) and sinking (NPN) electrical configurations. It operates on a supply voltage of 10–30 V DC and supports a maximum output current of 100 mA, while maintaining low current consumption for energy efficiency.
A user-friendly Teach‚ÄëTurn adjustment mechanism is built into the sensor for simple configuration, allowing operators to set switching points quickly and accurately on-site, without requiring complex programming tools.
In summary, the WTB4FP‚Äë1G311120ZZZ is a compact, fast, and highly adaptable sensor built for precision detection in tough environments, offering excellent performance and reliability in a miniature footprint.
