SICK WL100-2P3429 Photoelectric Sensor (6052385)

The SICK WL100-2P3429 is an ultra-compact photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for detecting transparent materials such as glass, film, and PET containers. With a dual-lens system and integrated polarisation filter, it offers a reliable sensing range up to 2.5 meters, making it ideal for packaging lines, bottling plants, and automation cells with reflective or low-opacity targets.

Its 11 mm-wide rectangular housing, visible red LED, and PNP output with fast 0.5 ms switching ensure accurate detection in tight spaces. The sensor ships with a P250 reflector and BEF-W100-A mounting bracket, ready for quick installation.
