Product Description

SICK WL2S-2P1330 Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor with PinPoint LED

The SICK WL2S-2P1330 photoelectric retro-reflective sensor is a miniature sensing solution designed to deliver precise and stable object detection in compact automation systems. Built with coaxial optics and PinPoint LED technology, it addresses common challenges such as unreliable detection of small objects, limited mounting space, and interference from background reflections. With a sensing distance suitable for short- to mid-range applications and a rugged IP67 enclosure, this sensor is well suited for modern industrial environments where accuracy, speed, and long-term reliability are essential.

The WL2S-2P1330 focuses on dependable performance in real production conditions rather than laboratory specifications alone. Its sharply defined light spot allows accurate detection of small components and edges, even in densely packed machinery. Fast response and high switching capability support high-speed conveyors and automated handling without missed signals. The polarizing optics help maintain consistent operation when reflective materials are present, reducing false triggers. Its compact housing simplifies installation in tight spaces, while robust electrical protection and environmental sealing help minimize downtime and maintenance over the sensor’s service life.

Why WL2S-2P1330?

The WL2S-2P1330 is chosen when precision, space efficiency, and reliability must coexist. Its ultra-compact housing allows installation where standard sensors simply do not fit, while the PinPoint LED with coaxial optics ensures consistent detection of small or fast-moving objects. Designed for continuous industrial operation, it combines fast switching, stable signal processing, and strong immunity to reflective interference. This makes it an ideal choice for engineers seeking dependable sensing without complex setup, adjustments, or frequent recalibration in demanding automation environments.

What problem does it solve?

The WL2S-2P1330 solves the challenge of unreliable object detection in tight spaces and high-speed processes. In many automated systems, small parts, shiny surfaces, or limited mounting depth can cause missed detections or false signals. This sensor overcomes those issues by producing a sharply focused light spot and filtering unwanted reflections. Its fast response ensures accurate detection even on rapid conveyors, while its robust design maintains stable performance despite vibration, dust, or temperature variation commonly found in industrial production lines.

The Applications

1. High-Speed Small Parts Detection on Compact Conveyors

In electronics and precision manufacturing, compact conveyors often move very small components at high speed with minimal spacing between parts. The WL2S-2P1330 is well suited for this environment because its PinPoint LED produces a clearly defined light spot that allows accurate detection of small items without interference from the conveyor surface. Its fast response supports rapid movement without missed signals, even during continuous operation. The compact housing makes it easy to mount close to the belt where space is restricted, while the sealed design ensures stable performance despite dust, vibration, or long production cycles.

2. Reliable Presence Detection in Automated Assembly Stations

Automated assembly processes rely on precise confirmation that a component is correctly positioned before the next step begins. In tight fixtures, reflective metal parts can cause unreliable sensing with standard sensors. The WL2S-2P1330 overcomes this by combining coaxial optics with polarization to maintain consistent detection even on shiny surfaces. Its stable switching behavior provides a clear signal to the control system, helping prevent assembly errors. The small sensor body integrates easily into compact tooling, supporting dense machine layouts without compromising detection reliability or repeatability.

3. Object Verification in Packaging Lines with Reflective Materials

Packaging lines frequently handle cartons, films, or labels that reflect light in unpredictable ways. The WL2S-2P1330 is effective in these applications because it focuses on the intended reflected signal while suppressing unwanted reflections. This makes it suitable for confirming package presence, detecting gaps, or verifying position before sealing or sorting. Its fast reaction time supports high-throughput packaging equipment, and the visible red light simplifies setup and alignment during format changes. The robust enclosure helps maintain stable operation in demanding, multi-shift packaging environments.

4. End-of-Line Detection in Space-Limited Industrial Machinery

End-of-line processes often require sensors to confirm product arrival or correct positioning in very confined areas. The WL2S-2P1330 is ideal for such tasks due to its ultra-compact form factor and dependable sensing behavior. It can be installed close to mechanical components without obstructing motion or maintenance access. The sensor provides accurate triggering for actions such as stopping conveyors, activating diverters, or initiating inspection steps. Its durable construction and protective circuitry support reliable long-term use in industrial machinery operating under continuous load.
