SICK VL180-P430 Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor

The Sick VL180-P430 Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor with WIV-V180-T400 reflector is an industrial sensor that detects object presence non-contact across 0.05 m to 3.0 m using a 920 nm infrared light. It belongs to the V180 series, features a PNP output rated for up to 100 mA, 10–30 VDC supply, and a fast response time of ≤1.5 ms with a switching frequency of 333 Hz. The compact unit measures 18 mm × 18 mm × 69 mm, weighs 65 g, and is built with nickel-plated brass and PBT/PC housing; it carries IP66 protection and operates from -25°C to +55°C, with an M12 4-pin male connector and an M18 x 1 thread. Common applications include conveyor product detection, packaging machinery, pallet handling, and assembly lines where reliable object presence detection and precise positioning are required; maintenance teams and system integrators use this sensor assembly for replacement, retrofit projects, and automation upgrades. The package includes the P250 / WIV-V180-T400 Reflector Assembly.
