The SICK W18-3 Ex Series Photoelectric Sensor offers reliable object detection via retro-reflective or proximity sensor configurations. Powerful features such as background suppression and ambient light immunity make the G2 series an adaptable, highly accurate application solution. Autocollimation is available to eliminate a minimum reflector distance, for an extended sensor rang of 0 to 7m. Each unit comes with a PNP output, light/dark switching mode, and cable with M12 connector (4-pin). The G2 Series is built to operate in explosive environments, meeting Category 3G/3D requirements for temperature and UV resistance, as well as overall performance and mechanical stability.
