Sick VL180-2P42436 Photoelectric Sensor

Sick VL180-2P42436 Photoelectric Sensor

The Sick VL180-2P42436 Photoelectric Sensor (Part No. 6037496) is a high-performance photoelectric retro-reflective sensor engineered for precise and reliable object detection. Its dual-lens system ensures stable sensing with a minimum distance to the reflector, providing exceptional performance across a 0.05 m to 6 m operating range and up to 7 m maximum. The sensor uses visible red LED light (645 nm) with a focused 4.5° optical beam, enabling accurate alignment and detection even in challenging environments.

Designed with a compact M18 cylindrical housing made of durable PBT/PC, it offers strong resistance to industrial conditions and meets the IP67 protection rating. The device supports PNP switching, light/dark mode selection, a fast 0.5 ms response time, and a 1,000 Hz switching frequency, making it ideal for high-speed automation tasks. It includes a P250 reflector and fastening nuts and features an M12 4-pin connector for convenient installation.

Technical Precautions

• Always install with the recommended P250 reflector for optimal performance.

• Ensure the sensor and reflector are properly aligned to maintain stable detection.

• Avoid exposure to strong external light sources that may interfere with the LED beam.

• Maintain appropriate cleaning of the optical lenses for consistent performance.

• Do not exceed the rated voltage and wiring specifications of the M12 4-pin connector.

• Ensure the IP67 rating is suitable for the installation environment (dusty or wet areas).

• Follow manufacturer guidelines for mounting torque to prevent housing damage.

• Use shielded cables in high-electrical-noise environments to avoid signal disturbances.
