Precise detection of small objects and object features. Reliable for use in harsh industrial environments: The W9 photoelectric sensor family offers a wider range of solutions than ever before. It is a complete product family, including photoelectric proximity sensors as well as photoelectric retro-reflective sensors and through-beam photoelectric sensors. All sensors are equipped with the latest laser and LED technology, protected by a rugged VISTAL housing for even stronger mechanical resistance. The W9 range works using SICKs SIRIC technology; optical and electromagnetic interference is effectively suppressed in any environment. With the addition of various connection, mounting and sensing options, the W9 sensor family is the ideal solution for a variety of application needs in the automation environment.
