Discover the SICK WL100L-F2231 laser photoelectric sensor for precise, fast detection of small or moving objects. Compact, reliable, and IP65-rated.
The SICK WL100L-F2231 Laser Photoelectric Sensor is a precision retro-reflective sensor built for detecting small or rapidly moving objects with high accuracy. Equipped with a visible red laser (650 nm) and dual-lens optical design, it maintains consistent detection performance up to 12 meters even in tight spaces or reflective environments. Its lightweight 10 g rectangular housing and IP65 protection ensure reliable operation in industrial settings. With a fast 0.25 ms response time, it excels in applications that demand both speed and precise positioning, making it a strong choice for automated production systems.
Designed for fast-paced automation and precision assembly, the WL100L-F2231 provides dependable detection under variable lighting and surface conditions. The adjustable potentiometer allows users to fine-tune sensitivity for different materials, while the light/dark switch enables versatile operation modes. Its polarizing filter eliminates false readings from reflective surfaces, improving accuracy on metallic or glossy targets. Constructed from durable ABS/PC housing with long-life laser technology, it delivers outstanding stability and minimal maintenance needs—helping reduce downtime and ensuring continuous operation in packaging, electronics, and logistics environments.
Why SICK WL100L-F2231?
The SICK WL100L-F2231 stands out for its laser precision and ultra-fast response, bringing next-level accuracy to compact automation systems. Its dual-lens laser design detects even tiny, fast-moving parts with confidence, offering industrial engineers a smart, plug-and-play solution that combines speed, reliability, and consistent performance in one remarkably small sensor.
What Problem Does It Solve?
The WL100L-F2231 eliminates detection errors caused by glossy surfaces, vibrations, or limited installation space. It solves the challenge of detecting small or high-speed objects that standard sensors often miss. With stable laser alignment, high switching frequency, and intelligent filtering, it ensures flawless object recognition—even in demanding, high-throughput production lines.
