Product Description

SICK WT24-2R519 Photoelectric Sensor with Background Suppression

The SICK WT24-2R519 Photoelectric Sensor is a precision detection device designed to ensure accurate object recognition in industrial environments. It uses infrared light with background suppression to detect targets reliably from 100 mm up to 2,500 mm, even when reflective surfaces or varying colors are present. The compact metal housing and IP67 protection rating allow it to perform dependably under dust, vibration, and moisture. With an easy-to-adjust potentiometer for range control and light/dark mode selection, this sensor provides flexibility for automation systems such as packaging, sorting, and logistics conveyors.

The WT24-2R519 delivers dependable detection performance in demanding industrial processes. Its relay switching output and compatibility with AC/DC voltage simplify installation and integration across various control systems. The fast response time of under 10 ms supports high-speed production lines, while its robust zinc die-cast construction resists impact and environmental stress. Designed for long service life and operational stability, it minimizes maintenance downtime. This sensor is ideal for tasks such as part positioning, level monitoring, and automated material handling—helping improve accuracy, efficiency, and overall process reliability.

Why SICK WT24-2R519?
Because it delivers exceptional precision and durability in one compact unit. The SICK WT24-2R519 combines infrared background suppression with industrial-grade reliability, ensuring stable detection in fast-moving and dusty environments. Its adjustable range and intelligent light/dark switching make it a smart choice for automated systems seeking accuracy without constant recalibration.

What problem does it solve?
The SICK WT24-2R519 eliminates false detections and inconsistent readings that often occur with reflective or variable-colored objects. It solves the challenge of reliable sensing over long distances in harsh industrial settings, keeping production lines efficient and reducing unplanned downtime. This means fewer errors, smoother automation, and improved product flow in every cycle.

The Applications

1. High-Speed Conveyor Object Detection in Packaging

On automated packaging lines, items of different materials and colors move rapidly, making precise detection a challenge. The SICK WT24-2R519 solves this by using infrared background suppression to maintain accuracy regardless of surface reflectivity. Its long sensing range of up to 2.5 m allows flexible placement away from moving parts, minimizing collision risk. The IP67-rated zinc die-cast housing withstands vibration, dust, and temperature variation, ensuring uninterrupted performance and reduced recalibration needs in high-speed production environments.

2. Metal Coil Alignment and Edge Detection

In metalworking facilities, reflective surfaces can cause ordinary sensors to misread or fail. The WT24-2R519 overcomes this by ignoring glare and detecting the actual edge of shiny coils or sheets with precision. Its infrared LED operates steadily even when background light fluctuates, and the light/dark mode selection provides flexibility for different setups. Built to endure tough industrial conditions, this sensor guarantees accurate coil alignment and smooth production without false triggers or repeated maintenance.

3. Automated Parcel Sorting in Logistics Systems

Large-scale sorting hubs rely on accurate detection to maintain fast, error-free throughput. The WT24-2R519 performs consistently across various parcel sizes and colors, ensuring stable detection even with glossy or dark packaging. Its fast 10 ms response time and wide 2.5 m detection range allow installation at optimal points on the conveyor, reducing blind spots. With simple potentiometer adjustment and reliable background rejection, it minimizes sorting errors and increases system efficiency in logistics operations.

4. Dusty and Moist Industrial Manufacturing Lines

Factories with spray processes, cooling tunnels, or dusty work areas require sensors that remain stable despite challenging environments. The WT24-2R519 provides dependable detection through sealed IP67 protection and durable metal construction. Its quick response ensures that even high-speed parts are detected instantly, while background suppression prevents false readings from nearby reflective structures. This sensor helps maintain consistent production flow, reduces unplanned downtime, and supports long-term reliability in demanding industrial conditions.
