The SICK WLL180T-L632 is an ultra long-range, self-contained retro-reflective photoelectric sensor from the premium WLL180 series. It represents advanced long-distance detection technology, specifically engineered for extreme-range applications in challenging industrial and outdoor environments. This sensor operates by emitting a powerful, focused light beam towards a high-performance reflector, detecting objects when they interrupt this beam path.
Extreme Long-Range Capability: Engineered for demanding distance applications, offering an exceptional sensing range of up to 250 meters (with appropriate SICK reflector). This performance makes it ideal for large-scale industrial automation and outdoor applications.
Advanced Polarization Filter Technology: Incorporates a high-performance polarization filter that enables reliable detection of shiny, reflective surfaces (including vehicles, metal containers, and glass) while eliminating false signals from non-target reflective objects.
Superior Excess Gain: Generates a powerful light signal that maintains stable operation under adverse conditions including fog, dust, rain, and partially contaminated reflectors.
Enhanced Ambient Light Immunity: Utilizes modulated infrared light (880 nm) with advanced filtering technology to reject interference from ambient light sources.
Robust Metal Construction: Features a heavy-duty, nickel-plated brass housing that provides excellent resistance to mechanical impact, chemicals, and environmental conditions.
High Protection Rating: Rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress.
Complementary Outputs (L): The "L" in the model number indicates complementary outputs (typically both Light-On and Dark-On signals are available simultaneously), offering greater flexibility for integration with different control systems.
Fixed Cable Connection: The "632" suffix suggests a specific fixed cable connection for secure installation.
