Specification

The SICK WLL180T series, including models WLL180T-N474, WLL180T-N473, and WLL180T-N432, represents a standalone fiber-optic amplifier solution designed for use with glass fiber optics. These sensors leverage infrared LED light at 1450 nm wavelength to deliver exceptional sensing performance in both through-beam and proximity configurations. With a maximum sensing range of 1000 mm for through-beam systems and 400 mm for proximity systems, the WLL180T is ideal for precise object detection in packaging, material handling, and assembly applications. The menu-driven interface, combined with a single teach-in button and a dual 4-character digital display, simplifies setup and real-time monitoring. The NPN switching output supports light/dark switching modes, and the programmable delay times offer flexibility for complex timing requirements. Built with a durable ABS/PC plastic housing and rated IP50, these sensors are designed for long-term reliability in industrial environments.
