SICK Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor WLG12 Series

The WLG is a retro-reflective light grid with a 100 mm detection height and transmission 8 LEDs. Detecting damaged pallets, leading edge detection, checking the edges of material webs and detecting and sorting bottles are the typical areas of application

At the same time, depending on the set sensitivity, the WLG detects objects which are only 6 mm large at a distance of 0.4 m. Transparent objects and reflective surfaces are also reliably detected.

0.6 ms response time
Eight visible transmitter LEDs
Up to eight PNP switching outputs and one alarm output
Sensitivity can be set via a potentiometer
Polarizing filter for reflective surfaces

The fast response time of the WLG means that increased conveyor speeds can be used
Increased availability thanks to the reliable detection of transparent objects
Savings in terms of cost and space thanks to the use of a reflector
A polarizing filter incre
