SICK 6030580 PNP Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor

Technical Overview

The SICK WT2F-P150 is a miniature energetic photoelectric proximity sensor for short-range detection using light reflected from the target. Its specified 2–34 mm sensing and maximum range apply to 90% remission reference white according to DIN 5033; target reflectance affects the usable distance. The 660 nm visible red LED operates without a sensitivity adjustment control. A PNP light-switching output connects to external control through a 2 m three-wire PVC cable. Response is no more than 0.5 ms with resistive load, with 1,000 Hz operation at a 1:1 light/dark ratio. The rectangular PC housing and PC optics provide IP67 protection and mounting holes for compact machine integration.

Industrial Applications

1. Counting separated light-colored tabs at a guide

A guide can present separated light-colored tabs close to the sensor so their surfaces return the emitted light. The 2–34 mm range applies to 90% remission reference white, with shorter distances shown for darker targets. External counting logic evaluates the PNP light-switching output after actual tab reflectance, spacing and motion have been checked against the fixed sensing response.

Problem Solved

A close-range tab-passage reference helps external counting logic register separated features where a receiver cannot be mounted across the path, using light reflected from the presented surface.

Tab counting Reflected-light sensing Short range

2. Checking a small insert at an assembly nest

An assembly nest can hold a small insert at a repeatable distance facing the sensor. Energetic sensing evaluates reflected light from the insert, with the documented reference-target ranges guiding setup. External inspection logic samples the PNP output while the assembly is stationary. The actual insert material, background and placement tolerance are checked because the sensor has no sensitivity adjustment.

Problem Solved

An insert-present reference helps external inspection logic identify an empty assembly location before the next operation, using a repeatable near-field reflected-light condition at the nest.

Insert presence Assembly nest Fixed adjustment

3. Confirming a carrier against a compact stop

A compact stop can present a defined carrier surface within the sensor’s short working distance. The fixed energetic response and PNP light-switching output provide a local arrival condition for external transfer logic. Setup verifies the actual carrier reflectance and seated gap, with darker surfaces evaluated against the shorter reference-target ranges rather than the white-target maximum.

Problem Solved

A seated-carrier reference helps external transfer logic coordinate release at a confined stop, using a nearby target surface and keeping both optical elements on one mounting side.
