SICK W27 series photoelectric sensors are designed for harsh industrial environments, where it copes easily with heavy vibrations, shocks and extreme temperature fluctuations. The W27 photoelectric sensor is a leader in its class, especially through its reliable detection at long ranges. A diverse range of features further enhances application-specific functionality including, Teach or potentiometer adjustment, time delays, front lens heating, IO-Link, ASi, and universal voltage DC or AC/DC.

PinPoint LEDs detect all kinds of objects including transparent objects, light & dark, large or small and even people. The PinPoint technology enables quick and easy sensor alignment and provides a precise, highly visible light spot that is unaffected by peripheral light.

LED indicators located or the top panel allows the operator to quickly and easily set the minimum and maximum distances. In addition, the IO-Link function offers full process control, from commissioning to service.
