Description

The SICK WL18-3P430 is a high-performance retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed to handle challenging detection tasks in industrial environments. Its standout feature is autocollimation technology, which uses a single-lens system to reliably detect transparent objects—such as glass bottles, clear films, and PET trays—while eliminating blind spots right in front of the sensor face.

With a sensing range of up to 7 meters (using a standard PL80A reflector) and a fast response time of under 2.5ms, it ensures precision in high-speed packaging and logistics lines. Encased in a durable, IP67-rated housing, the WL18-3P430 is built to withstand harsh temperatures and washdowns, making it a robust "see-everything" solution.

    The "See-Everything" Sensor.

    Meet the WL18-3P430. A robust, retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for harsh industrial environments. It uses Autocollimation technology to see transparent objects and eliminate blind spots.

    How It Works: Interactive Lab

    The WL18-3P430 is a Retro-reflective sensor. It sends a red light beam to a reflector, which bounces it back. When an object breaks this beam, the sensor switches. Try the simulation below to see the logic in action.

    Output (Q): HIGH (1)
    Mode: Light Switching

    BOX
    Autocollimation: Notice how the send and receive beams are on the same axis? This allows the WL18 to detect objects right up to the sensor face (Blind zone = 0).

    Sensing Range Capability

    The maximum range depends heavily on the reflector used. The PL80A provides the standard 7m range. Smaller reflectors reduce the operational distance.
