The SICK WT30-01 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor that detects objects by interrupting a transmitted visible red light beam across a 30 to 300 mm sensing gap. It runs on a 10–30 V DC supply and uses a LED light source, with a plastic housing and glass-fibre reinforced plastic optics designed for rugged industrial use. The sensor is specified for 90% remission targets (DIN 5033), enabling reliable operation with bright, reflective workpieces. This compact, robust model from SICK provides non-contact detection for automation tasks requiring a fixed sensing distance.
