- Detects objects from 3 mm to 170 mm with adjustable potentiometer
- Infrared LED gives 250 Hz switching frequency for fast response
- PNP output with selectable light or dark switching via control cable
- IP67 enclosure withstands dust and water in harsh environments
- Operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage
Industrial sensing for automated lines
The Sick VTE18-4P2912 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor that uses an energetic infrared LED to detect objects between three millimetres and one hundred seventy millimetres. It is built for engineers and technicians who need reliable presence detection on conveyors, packaging machines or assembly stations.
Mounts in an M18 thread with a two-metre PVC cable
The sensor fits a standard M18 by one millimetre thread and has a sixty point six millimetre housing length, so it installs in existing brackets without redesign. Its four-wire cable carries ten to thirty volt DC power and a PNP switching output, leaving the control cabinet free for other I/O modules.
Potentiometer adjustment and IP67 sealing
A two hundred seventy degree potentiometer lets the installer set the exact sensing distance on site, while the selectable light or dark switching mode adapts to changing target reflectivity. The IP67 rated PBT/PC housing and PMMA optics withstand wash-down, oil mist and temperatures from minus twenty five to plus seventy degrees Celsius.
