SICK WL160-F132 Photoelectric Retro Reflective Sensor

SICK WL160-F132 Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor is a compact, integrated emitter-receiver device that uses visible red light to detect targets via reflection from a dedicated reflector placed opposite the sensor. As a retro-reflective configuration, it requires a reflector to form the sensing beam and trigger the output when the reflected signal is received. The WL160-F132 variant is cataloged with part number 6022767 and is described by SICK as a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor that uses visible red light for detection. Retail listings show this model in a PNP-output configuration, aligning with typical automation wiring schemes for DC control circuits. Manufactured by SICK, the WL160-F132 is part of the WL160 family of photoelectric sensors designed for compact installation in industrial environments where reflector-based sensing is appropriate. The device is suited to applications that call for presence or position sensing on conveyors, packaging lines, and other automation tasks where a reflector is installed and the sensor’s red light beam can reliably detect reflected signals.
