Overview With the W4F, high performance and smart automation are now also available in a miniature size. The miniature sensor is the perfect complement to the product range of a new generation of opto-electronic sensors such as the W16 and W26 and, thanks to the new ASIC technology from SICK, consistently delivers extremely reliable detection results. This allows for versatile use in a wide range of challenging installation situations. Thanks to ForegroundSuppression, DoubleLine, V-optics and MultiSwitch, the W4F is a high-performance application specialist: Background suppression is improved, and flat, highly-reflective and transparent objects are detected even more precisely. In addition, the W4F as Smart Sensors make monitoring and diagnostics easier than ever before and enable future-proof use in I4.0 plants. At a glance Technologies: ForegroundSuppression, DoubleLine, V-optics and MultiSwitch Two switching points and distance value output in one device Diffuse sender LED for ambient light suppression BluePilot: Teach-Turn adjustment with optical sensing range and alignment aid Smart Sensor: Latest diagnostics and monitoring functions VISTAL® housing Your Benefit Solution for particularly challenging detection tasks in tight installation spaces Very high reliability through powerful background suppression and excellent detection of flat, highly-reflective and transparent objects Two switching points as well as the output of distance values expand the application possibilities Flexible use thanks to high optical reliability The highly-visible light spot combined with the intuitive BluePilot operating interface enables set-up in mere seconds Maximum monitoring and process reliability thanks to intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance As Smart Sensors, fit for Industry 4.0 The Sick WTV4FE series is a miniature photoelectric proximity sensor, which has the sensing range from 2 mm to max 50 mm and has PinPoint LED light source. SICK is one of the leading ...
