SICK WT27-2S030S14 Proximity Sensor

The SICK WT27-2S030S14 is a compact photoelectric proximity sensor built for reliable non-contact detection with background suppression. The rectangular housing measures 24.6 mm by 80 mm by 53.5 mm, and it detects objects from 100 mm to 1,000 mm away using a visible red light emitted by an LED, producing a light spot about 15 mm in diameter at 500 mm. Adjustable via a potentiometer, this WT27-2S030S14 configuration is designed to respond to targets with roughly 90% remission (DIN 5033), providing robust performance on varying backgrounds. With a rated life of up to 100,000 hours at 25 °C, it suits long-running automation tasks in manufacturing and packaging lines where a small, rugged sensor is needed without physical contact. The part is cataloged as 1015709 (SICK WT27-2S030S14) and represents a practical solution for conveyor sensing, part presence on assembly lines, and process gating where precise sensing over a defined optical range is required.
