The SICK WL18X-3P930 is a miniature cylindrical photoelectric sensor with background suppression (BGS) technology, designed for high-precision object detection in confined spaces. It reliably detects objects within a defined range while ignoring backgrounds, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent performance across varying colors and surface reflectivities.
