SICK WT32-B230 Photoelectric Proximity Switch

The SICK WT32-B230 Photoelectric Proximity Switch is a compact, non-contact sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation. It operates on 10–30 V DC and targets distances from 100 mm up to 2,000 mm, making it suitable for long‑range sensing on conveyors, feeders, and packaging lines. The unit’s rugged rectangular housing measures 36 mm wide, 85 mm high, and 72 mm deep, and it includes mounting options with captive M5 fixing holes for secure installation. WT32-B230 family devices also feature contamination‑control capabilities to improve sensing reliability in dusty or dirty environments. This model is a true photoelectric proximity switch, enabling discrete switching without contact and enabling straightforward integration with standard PLC inputs and other automation hardware. Applications span material handling, position sensing, and process automation where non‑contact detection at multiple meters is advantageous.
