Industrial Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
The SICK WT160-F460 is a compact rectangular photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It uses visible red LED light at 680 nm with background suppression to detect objects reliably. The sensor operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage with a low power consumption of 25 mA. Its IP67 enclosure rating ensures suitability for harsh environments.
Sensing Range and Output Configuration
The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 0 mm to 115 mm with a defined operating range up to 100 mm. It provides a PNP switching output with selectable light/dark switching mode via a rotary switch. A fast response time of 0.5 ms supports high-speed detection applications. Connection is made via a male M8 4-pin connector for secure integration.
Mounting and Environmental Durability
The compact housing measures 11 mm x 38 mm x 23 mm and uses PBT plastic with PMMA optics for chemical resistance. It withstands ambient operating temperatures from –25 °C to +55 °C and storage temperatures down to –40 °C. UL certification under file numbers NRNT2.E128350 and NRNT8.E128350 confirms compliance with safety standards. No mounting brackets or cables are included in the package.

Questions about this item
What does the 115 mm maximum sensing range mean for reliable detection on a conveyor?
The sensor can detect objects up to 115 mm away, but the specified sensing range for consistent operation is 0 to 100 mm using visible red light at 680 nm.
How does the M8 4-pin connector limit the supply voltage and output configuration?
The connector carries a 10 to 30 V DC supply with ±10 % ripple tolerance and delivers a PNP switching output selectable for light or dark switching via the rotary switch.
Will the 11 mm by 38 mm by 23 mm plastic housing fit in a tight machine frame and survive wash-downs?
The compact rectangular PBT housing measures 11 mm wide, 38 mm high and 23 mm deep, and the IP67 enclosure rating protects against dust and temporary immersion.
