On automated packaging lines, products of varying shapes and surface finishes move quickly along conveyor belts. The WTB250-2P2441 ensures reliable detection even when background colors, roller reflections, or belt materials change. Its background suppression feature focuses only on objects within the set range, preventing false signals. With a 3 ms response time and wide 150–500 mm range, it tracks every item accurately, supporting higher line speeds and improving throughput without sensor readjustment between product types.
In warehouse automation, confirming whether goods are correctly stacked or positioned on pallets can be challenging when working around reflective metal frames or complex backgrounds. The WTB250-2P2441 distinguishes the target object from nearby surfaces, minimizing detection errors. Its visible red LED makes setup alignment easy, while the rotatable M12 connector fits compact spaces in conveyor or robotic pallet systems. This capability ensures smoother pallet handling, accurate load counts, and reduced shipment errors.
Automotive assembly requires confirming part presence before welding or fastening, often in areas with bright metallic surroundings. The WTB250-2P2441 precisely detects parts even when they are dark, shiny, or irregularly shaped. Its high switching frequency (160 Hz) and PNP output integrate easily with programmable controllers for instant feedback. This prevents assembly mistakes, improves process reliability, and supports continuous operation on high-speed manufacturing lines.
In electronics production, components and PCBs may have low reflectivity or transparent coatings that make optical detection difficult. The WTB250-2P2441 uses triangulation-based background suppression to identify objects accurately, regardless of color or material. Its narrow 3° focus angle isolates the target even in dense layouts. This ensures consistent positioning and counting of parts, improving inspection efficiency and product quality across electronic assembly and packaging applications.
