Industrial detection sensor
The Sick VTE18-3F8840 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an angled light emission design. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with PNP switching output and light switching mode. An M12 4-pin male connector provides the electrical interface. The IP67 enclosure rating suits harsh industrial environments.
Replaces basic limit switches
This sensor upgrades from mechanical contact switches where non-contact detection reduces wear and maintenance. The infrared LED source with a 2.8° dispersion angle offers precise targeting. The potentiometer allows sensing range adjustment without software tools. The 2 ms response time supports high-speed automation lines.
Handles 10 mm to 700 mm range
Reliable object detection covers 10 mm to 700 mm with a maximum reach of 800 mm. The plastic housing and PMMA optics withstand ambient temperatures from –25 °C to +70 °C. Power consumption stays at 30 mA with 10 % ripple tolerance. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms compliance for North American installations.
