Industrial Detection Sensor

The Sick VTF180-2N41112 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and machine safety applications. It uses visible red LED light with background blanking to detect objects reliably in controlled environments. Engineers and maintenance technicians specify this NPN-output device for presence sensing on conveyors, packaging lines and assembly cells.

Adjustable 100 mm Sensing Range

The sensor detects targets from 1 mm to 100 mm with a maximum reach of 140 mm and a focused 8 mm light spot at 100 mm distance. A 270-degree potentiometer allows precise range adjustment while the selectable light/dark switching mode adapts to changing surface reflectivity. Response time is 0.5 ms at 1,000 Hz switching frequency for high-speed detection.

10-30 V DC M18 Mount with IP67 Housing

The nickel-plated brass barrel measures 62.5 mm long with an M18 x 1 thread and includes two fastening nuts for direct panel installation. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.18 mm² conductors carries the 4-wire connection while the IP67-rated metal and PMMA housing withstands wash-down and temperatures down to –25 °C. The unit draws 30 mA from a 10-30 V DC supply and delivers up to 100 mA NPN output with circuit protection A, B and D.

Questions about this item

How does the 1 mm to 140 mm sensing range perform on a real production line?

The sensor detects objects from 1 mm up to 140 mm with focused red LED optics, giving an 8 mm light spot at 100 mm distance.

What does the NPN output and 10 V to 30 V DC supply mean for wiring into a PLC?

It provides an NPN switching output rated at 100 mA with a 1.8 V saturation voltage, powered from any 10 V to 30 V DC source with 10 % ripple tolerance.

Will the M18 x 1 threaded barrel and 62.5 mm length fit our existing mounting brackets?

The nickel-plated brass barrel uses M18 x 1 threads, is 62.5 mm long, and includes two fastening nuts for direct bracket mounting.
