Small Photoelectric Sensor – WSE9-3P2430

The WSE9-3P2430 is a small through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for high-performance object detection in tight spaces. With its slim, rectangular housing and PinPoint LED technology, this sensor offers a sensing range up to 10 meters, making it ideal for long-distance detection tasks.

Delivering visible red light at a wavelength of 650 nm, the W9 sensor ensures precise alignment and consistent performance even in challenging industrial settings. It features light/dark switching, a high switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, and a response time of less than 0.5 milliseconds, making it suitable for high-speed automation.

The sensor is housed in durable VISTAL  plastic with a PMMA optical surface and is rated IP66, IP67, and IP69K for superior resistance to dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning. It operates reliably in a wide temperature range from –40 °C to +60 °C and connects easily via a 4-pin M12 male connector.
