Fibre-optic photoelectric switches from Sick
Sick provide distribution services for a range of WLL170T-2 model of fibre-optic photoelectric switches. The Teach and Go fibre-optic photoelectric switches, supplied by Sick, have space-saving, mounting, simple teach-in, reliable detection and rapid switching functions. In combination with more than 100 different fibre-optic cables (made of plastic or glass fibre) they open up ideal automation solutions, particularly in the compact machine segment.
The WLL170T-2 is a photoelectric switch suitable for fibre-optic cables, offering snap-in mounting in the control cabinet. The WLL170T-2 fibre-optic photoelectric switch is particularly suitable for standard applications and provides high functional reserves even at the maximum range of 4,000 mm. The sensors are rapid in two senses: firstly, the high-speed variants offer switching frequencies of 10 kHz and, secondly, due to the uncomplicated teaching-in of switching thresholds in each of the four possible teach-in modes.
The range of applications of the fibre-optic photoelectric switches includes:
- Photoelectric switches with fibre-optic cables can be installed in areas with limited mounting space
- The transmitter and receiver are accommodated in a single housing and are mounted in an easily accessible location
- Sleeved plastic or fibre-glass optical fibres bring the light to the restricted installation location
- The WLL170T-2 photoelectric switch, offering snakelike access from the sensor to the object, is mainly used in the semiconductor industry, electronic production, packaging machines, handling and assembly systems, precision mechanics and various types of special machine construction applications
