SICK WS24-2U230 Photoelectric Sensor Transmitter

The SICK WS24-2U230 is the transmitter half of a through-beam photoelectric sensor pair, designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation and powered from 12–240 V DC, with a red LED indicator to confirm beam status. Housed in a metal, zinc-die-cast enclosure with IP67 protection, it uses PMMA optics and terminal connections via an M16 gland, and it provides a switching output rated for up to 100 mA when paired with the WE24-2R230 receiver. The transmitter weighs approximately 660 g, reflecting its rugged build intended for demanding factory environments. This model is part of SICK's WS/WE24-2 family and is typically used with the WE24-2R230 receiver to create a reliable through-beam sensing solution on conveyors, packaging lines, and automation equipment.
