SICK ultra-compact W2SG-2 I/O-Link miniature photoelectric sensor for detecting transparent objects. Ampules, foil and glass are reliably detected in the most confined of spaces. The WL2SG-2 is adaptable to the environment, dust on the reflector or wear is compensated for in the same way as temperature changes and changes in light intensity. Settings for the application can also be selected via I/O-Link. Special operating modes for gaps in the bottle flow or for foil tear monitoring are available for extreme operating conditions.

I/O-Link is the new communication standard for the integration of the sensors and actuators into automation systems. W2SG-2 I/O-Link can be parametrised and monitored via field bus. Preventative maintenance and service measures can be implemented, and changeover times for product or format changes can be significantly reduced.
