SICK WL2S-2F3130 retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with PinPoint LED, IP67, fast PNP output for precise detection up to 1.2 m.
The SICK WL2S-2F3130 photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PinPoint LED is a miniature industrial sensor designed to deliver precise and dependable object detection in confined installation spaces. Using coaxial optics and a highly focused visible red PinPoint LED, it ensures consistent sensing of small, thin, or low-reflectivity objects. The compact rectangular housing, combined with a robust IP67 enclosure, addresses common challenges such as unstable detection, alignment sensitivity, and limited mounting space in automated machinery and production equipment.
In practical automation environments, the SICK WL2S-2F3130 enhances process reliability by maintaining stable detection even under vibration, high switching speeds, or fluctuating ambient conditions. The sharply defined light spot improves accuracy when monitoring closely spaced parts or reflective materials, while the fast PNP dark-switching output supports high-throughput systems. Its adjustment-free operation simplifies commissioning and reduces maintenance effort, making it well suited for packaging machines, conveyor systems, compact assembly stations, and OEM-designed equipment where precision and uptime are essential.
The WL2S-2F3130 is chosen when space is limited but detection accuracy cannot be compromised. Its compact W2 housing allows seamless integration into tight mechanical designs, while the PinPoint LED delivers a sharply focused light spot for precise sensing. This model is especially valued in high-speed automation because it combines fast response, stable signal behavior, and adjustment-free operation. For OEMs and system integrators, it offers predictable performance, reduced setup time, and long-term reliability without increasing design complexity.
The WL2S-2F3130 solves the common challenge of unreliable object detection in compact, fast-moving, or visually demanding environments. Traditional sensors may struggle with small parts, reflective surfaces, or inconsistent alignment, leading to false signals or downtime. This sensor addresses those issues through coaxial optics and a defined light spot that maintains accuracy even under vibration or tight spacing. As a result, it stabilizes production flow, minimizes detection errors, and supports consistent automation performance across diverse industrial applications.

1. Compact Carton and Blister Pack Detection
In high-speed packaging equipment, sensors must detect small products accurately without slowing production. The WL2S-2F3130 performs well in these environments because its fast response time supports rapid product movement, while the focused PinPoint light improves detection of thin cartons and blister packs. The compact sensor body fits easily inside confined machine frames, allowing close positioning to the product flow. Its stable switching behavior helps prevent false counts and missed detections, supporting consistent throughput, reducing machine stoppages, and maintaining reliable packaging quality during continuous operation.
2. Small Component Detection on Space-Limited Conveyors
Compact conveyors used in electronics and precision manufacturing often require detection of small parts with limited mounting space. The WL2S-2F3130 addresses this by combining a miniature housing with a sharply defined light spot that improves contrast on small or irregularly shaped components. Coaxial optics help maintain consistent detection even when parts are closely spaced or slightly misaligned. This enables accurate part tracking, stable sorting decisions, and reliable system control without modifying mechanical layouts or adding complex sensor arrangements.
3. Part Presence Verification at Assembly Stations
Automated assembly stations depend on reliable confirmation that parts are correctly positioned before each process step. The WL2S-2F3130 supports this requirement by delivering consistent detection of small, reflective, or low-contrast components. Its adjustment-free design simplifies setup and reduces commissioning time, while stable signal output ensures dependable feedback to the control system. By preventing operations from proceeding when parts are missing or incorrectly placed, the sensor helps reduce assembly errors, protect tooling, and improve overall production quality.
4. Tote and Carrier Detection in Automated Transport Systems
In intralogistics environments, sensors must operate reliably despite vibration, dust, and varying transport speeds. The WL2S-2F3130 is well suited for detecting totes and carriers moving through automated transport lines. Its fast switching capability supports accurate detection at different speeds, while the focused light spot allows precise sensing of container edges or labels. The rugged housing ensures stable performance in industrial conditions, improving routing accuracy and supporting smooth material flow across automated handling systems.
