SICK WTF12-3P2431 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor (1041404)

The SICK WTF12-3P2431 is a robust photoelectric proximity sensor with foreground suppression, optimized for precise object detection from 30 mm to 175 mm. Featuring SICK SIRIC® technology and visible red light, it reliably detects flat and reflective objects, making it ideal for applications in packaging, automation, and machine tool environments.

Its compact metal rectangular housing, ultra-fast 330 µs response time, and complementary PNP outputs make this sensor a high-performance solution for space-constrained and high-speed industrial installations.
