SICK Energetic Photoelectric Sensor, Cylindrical Sensor, 0 → 340 mm Detection Range

The V12 photoelectric sensor has a 12 mm housing that fits into confined spaces where installation space is at a premium, such as in tool and die detection. Two teach-in modes enable the sensor to solve various application solutions — one teach-in mode for standard applications and a precise mode for small movements. The compact V12 sensor is ideal for parts detection in the metal-forming and robotics industry. These sensors feature a variety of flexible options, including alternative connection systems (M12connector or connecting cable), choice of interface (10 - 30 V DC, PNP or NPN output, light or dark switching output), and high switching frequencies.

Many variants offer an operating reserve indicator to provide assistance during commissioning and maintenance. Plus, their rugged metal housing and large operating temperatures from –25 °C to +70 °C make them able to withstand harsh environments.
