SICK WT260-R230 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor

The SICK WT260-R230 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor is a compact, IP66-rated detector in the WT260 family that uses background-suppression infrared sensing to reliably detect parts and objects on automated lines. It features a photoelectric proximity principle with background suppression and an infrared LED light source; its switching output is rated to 3 A at up to 240 V AC, with a rated voltage of 250 V AC/DC and a cable-gland connection. The device operates on a wide supply window of 12 V DC to 240 V DC, making it suitable for mixed DC networks as well as standard industrial power. The WT260-R230 is designed for harsh environments, with an enclosure temperature range of -25 to +55 C and an IP66 rating for dust and water protection. Weight is about 120 g, and the unit is commonly shipped with the BEF-W260 mounting bracket, which supports quick installation on conveyors and machine frames. This model is part of SICK's W260 WT260 line, known for compact form factor, robust construction, and configurable light/dark switching to suit different detection conditions.
