Sick WL12-2B560 Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor

SKU CH-XWZ7-J2XTY

Photoelectric retro-reflective sensor detects objects up to 3.5 m with visible red LED, potentiometer adjustment and IP67-rated zinc housing

  • Reliable detection up to 3.5 m sensing range
  • Compact 15 mm x 49 mm x 41.5 mm rectangular housing
  • Durable IP67 zinc diecast enclosure for harsh environments
  • Flexible 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage
  • Fast 330 µs response time for quick switching

SICK WL12-2B560 Retro-reflective Sensor

The SICK WL12-2B560 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor built for industrial detection tasks. It uses visible red LED light to sense objects across a range of up to 4 metres. The rectangular metal housing measures 15 mm by 49 mm by 41.5 mm and carries an IP67 enclosure rating. Supply voltage spans 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a 330 µs response time.

Suited for Automated Lines Needing Compact Metal

This sensor fits machines that require a small zinc diecast body and a potentiometer for quick range adjustment. The 5-pin M12 male connector simplifies wiring in standard control cabinets. Buyers who need a different sensing principle such as through-beam or diffuse detection should look at other models. Applications demanding a sensing distance beyond 4 metres will not be covered by this unit.

Potentiometer and M12 Connector Simplify Setup

The built-in potentiometer lets technicians set the switching point without extra tools or software. A 5-pin M12 connector provides a secure, industry-standard link that speeds up installation and replacement. Light/dark switching mode is selectable to match the control logic of the system. These features reduce commissioning time on the production line.

Questions about this item

What supply voltage must my system provide for the WL12-2B560 sensor?

The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a maximum ripple of 5 Vpp and a current draw of 30 mA.

Can the sensor's M12 5-pin connector work with my existing M12 4-pin cables?

No, the sensor requires a 5-pin M12 male connector; a 4-pin cable will not provide all necessary connections.

How can I verify the sensor is detecting correctly after installation?

Use the potentiometer to adjust the switching point; the output toggles within 330 µs when the visible red light beam is interrupted or reflected.
