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.
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.
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.
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.
