Information About WT160-P172

The WT160-P172 is part of SICK’s WT160 series, a compact line of photoelectric sensors developed for accurate proximity detection in space-limited installations. It uses background suppression technology to minimize false switching caused by reflective or varying backgrounds. The sensor is designed for direct integration into PLC-controlled systems and is commonly used in assembly, packaging, and material handling equipment. Its robust construction supports continuous operation in demanding industrial conditions.

Key Features:

  • Background Suppression Technology: Detects objects reliably while ignoring background surfaces.
  • Photoelectric Proximity Sensing: Enables non-contact detection for precise automation tasks.
  • WT160 Series Platform: Designed for compact and versatile industrial sensor applications.
  • PNP Switching Output: Suitable for standard PLC and control system interfaces.
  • Short-Range Detection Capability: Optimized for close-range and precision sensing tasks.
  • Fast Response Time: Supports accurate detection in high-speed automation processes.
  • Compact Rectangular Housing: Ideal for installations with limited mounting space.
  • Integrated Status Indication: Visual feedback simplifies setup and troubleshooting.
  • Industrial-Grade Design: Built for long-term reliability in harsh automation environments.

The WT160-P172 delivers the reliability and precision required for industrial proximity sensing with background suppression.
