SICK WTE11-2P2432 Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor

SICK WTE11-2P2432 is a compact through-beam photoelectric sensor from the W11‑2 family that delivers reliable object detection in industrial environments. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides a PNP transistor output via a 4‑pin M12 connector, with selectable dark‑on or light‑on switching for flexible mounting. The rectangular ABS housing measures 15.6 × 48.5 × 42 mm and carries an IP66/IP67 rating for durability in washdown and harsh conditions. Its sensing range spans 0.04 to 1.0 m (40 mm to 1 m) using a visible red beam at 633 nm, with a target remission requirement around 90% for standard white targets per DIN 5033. Setup is aided by a single teach‑in button, and the device uses a durable LED light source designed for a long service life. This model is part of the W11‑2 line and is well suited for conveyors, part-detection, end‑of‑line sensing, and packaging applications where a compact through‑beam solution and configurable output improve reliability in tight spaces and with varying reflectivity. Catalog entries for this configuration commonly show a 1 m version and a PNP output option.
