Industrial photoelectric sensor
The SICK VTF18-3F1340 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with background blanking and a PNP light-switching output. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and is built for industrial automation tasks requiring reliable object detection within a defined zone.
M12 connector simplifies wiring
Connection uses a standard male M12 4-pin plug for quick integration into existing cable systems. The fixed sensing range of 3 mm to 90 mm requires no manual adjustment, reducing setup time. An IP67-rated metal housing withstands wash-down and dust, while circuit protection covers polarity reversal, short circuits, and overload conditions.
Focused infrared spot at 50 mm
The LED emits an infrared light spot of Ø 3 mm at a 50 mm distance, enabling precise detection of small parts up to the maximum 100 mm range. Switching frequency reaches 250 Hz with a 2 ms response time, suitable for high-speed counting or positioning. Performance drops beyond the 90 mm sensing limit or outside the –25 °C to +70 °C temperature window.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the VTF18-3F1340 is detecting correctly after wiring it to a 10 V DC ... 30 V DC supply?
With the PNP light-switching output connected, the sensor switches when an object enters the 3 mm ... 90 mm sensing range; verify the load sees the 100 mA max output current and the 2 ms response time at 250 Hz switching frequency.
What comes in the box with the VTF18-3F1340 and what must I source separately?
The sensor housing with M18 x 1 thread, radial optical axis, 75 mm length and M12 4-pin male connector is supplied; you must provide a compatible M12 4-pin cable and a 10 V DC ... 30 V DC power supply.
Which sensing-range version of the VTF18-3F1340 should I choose for my application?
This model offers a fixed sensing range of 3 mm ... 90 mm with a maximum of 3 mm ... 100 mm and a focused 3 mm light spot at 50 mm; select it when those distances match your detection zone.
