SICK VTE18-3F8640 photoelectric sensor
The SICK VTE18-3F8640 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with PNP switching output. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and connects via a male M12 4-pin connector. The plastic housing meets IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water protection. This sensor suits industrial automation tasks requiring reliable object detection.
Sensing range 10 mm to 700 mm with 800 mm maximum
The sensor detects objects from 10 mm up to 700 mm with a maximum sensing range of 800 mm using infrared LED light. A 2.8° angle of dispersion focuses the beam for precise detection. Potentiometer adjustment allows range tuning for specific applications. Response time equals 2 ms for fast switching in automated processes.
PNP light switching output for PLC integration
The PNP switching output operates in light switching mode compatible with standard PLC inputs. Supply voltage tolerance includes 10 % ripple at 30 mA power consumption. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +70 °C for harsh environments. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms compliance for North American installations.

Questions about this item
Will the VTE18-3F8640's M12 4-pin connector work with my existing M12 cables?
Yes, the sensor uses a standard M12, 4-pin male connector compatible with common M12 cables.
How can I verify the sensor is detecting objects correctly after installation?
Adjust the potentiometer while observing the output; the PNP switching output activates on light reception with a 2 ms response time.
Does the VTE18-3F8640 include a mounting bracket and cable, or must I buy them separately?
The sensor housing is plastic with an IP67 rating; mounting hardware and M12 cables are sold separately.
