Sick
Light switch with intuitive touchscreen operation
With the 'W10' photoelectric proximity switch, Sick presents a sensor that can be used to solve a wide range of detection tasks in automation technology. The sensor series comprises four variants that differ in their operating distances and mounting options.
According to the manufacturer Sick, the laser class 1 transmission LED, in conjunction with the precise receiver evaluation line, delivers precise detection results with high repeat accuracy. For the first time, a touchscreen surface has been implemented in a sensor of this type, which simplifies the operation of the scanner. Three application-optimized operating modes and, if required, a foreground or background suppression can be activated via the display. In addition, teach-in options allow the push-button to be adapted to individual application scenarios. The stainless steel housing with IP69K protection protects the laser triangulation sensor in use under demanding environmental conditions. Thanks to IO-Link functionality, the light scanner offers the option of remote configuration and efficient integration of the recorded sensor data into an existing automation network.
