SICK WT36-R710 Proximity Sensor

SICK WT36-R710 is a compact photoelectric proximity switch with background suppression, housed in a 36 mm × 85 mm × 77 mm rectangular enclosure and carrying the part number 1005927. It detects reflective targets over a 200–800 mm range (specified for a 90% reflectivity, DIN 5033) using a visible red LED light source, with an adjustable potentiometer for setup. The device operates on 24–240 V DC in switching mode, uses a 7‑pin Q7 AC/UC connector, and carries an IP65 enclosure rating for protection against dust and water jets. Its ambient operating temperature range is −25 °C to +55 °C, with storage from −25 °C to +75 °C. Construction details include a plastic housing with a glass‑fibre reinforced body and a PMMA optical window, and a response time of ≤6 ms. This WT36-R710 is well suited to conveyor and packaging line applications where background clutter must be ignored and reliable sense-and-switch operation is required.
