The Applications of SICK WT100L-F2241 Laser Photoelectric Sensor

1. High-Speed Component Counting in Electronics Production

In electronic assembly lines, small components like resistors and capacitors move rapidly on conveyors. The WT100L-F2241’s ultra-fast 0.25 ms response time and narrow 2 mm laser spot enable the sensor to detect even the tiniest items with high accuracy. Its precise output signals ensure each piece is counted and sorted correctly, reducing missed detections and optimizing automated feeding systems. This allows production lines to maintain speed and accuracy without costly rework or downtime.

2. Detecting Glossy Packaging in Food Processing Lines

Food items wrapped in shiny film or foil often cause false readings with standard sensors. The WT100L-F2241 solves this by using a focused red laser beam that maintains stability even on reflective or transparent surfaces. Its compact 11 × 31 × 20 mm housing allows mounting in tight packaging machinery, ensuring every pack is detected before sealing or labeling. This reliable detection reduces waste, prevents mislabeling, and keeps the production flow consistent.

3. Robotic Positioning of Small Mechanical Parts

During automated assembly, precise timing and placement are crucial. The WT100L-F2241 detects each part as it approaches the robotic gripper, ensuring accurate positioning for assembly or inspection. The adjustable potentiometer and light/dark switching make setup easy across various materials and finishes. Its IP65 protection and durable ABS/PC body guarantee performance in dusty or oily environments, minimizing production interruptions and improving overall assembly precision.

4. Compact Sensor Integration in Multi-Lane Sorting Systems

In logistics or packaging centers, items travel side by side on narrow conveyor tracks. The WT100L-F2241’s slim design and high 2 kHz switching frequency make it ideal for detecting small or fast-moving items between lanes without cross-talk. Its focused laser spot ensures clean separation of signals, helping to direct each package to its correct destination. This efficiency boosts sorting accuracy, reduces congestion, and enhances overall system throughput.
