1099269

Overview

SICK part number 1099269 identifies the W12-3B2431 photoelectric sensor. This device utilizes a retro-reflective functional principle with a Reflex Array dual lens system to ensure reliable object detection. It features visible red light emission from a PinPoint LED source, providing a sensing range of up to 1.5 meters when used with the specified P250F reflector. The unit is housed in a rugged zinc die-cast metal enclosure rated IP69, offering protection against mechanical, thermal, and optical interference such as ambient light and reflections. Commissioning is facilitated by a local BluePilot user interface with teach-turn adjustment.

Feature Summary

• Rugged zinc die-cast housing provides resistance to mechanical, thermal, and optical interference
• Reflex Array dual lens system ensures reliable detection of transparent, perforated, or uneven objects
• Local BluePilot user interface enables fast and intuitive commissioning via teach-turn adjustment
• IO-Link capability allows for simple digital integration and parameterization

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects
• Detection of perforated objects
• Detection of uneven or shiny objects
• Detection of flat objects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required cable length and connector type, as variations exist within the W12 series. Confirm that the application requires the specific 1.5-meter sensing range defined for this model with the P250F reflector. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed the operational temperature limits associated with the metal housing design. Cross-reference the pin configuration with existing control systems to guarantee compatibility with the IO-Link or standard switching output requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high reliability is required for challenging objects such as transparent or reflective surfaces. The metal housing is suitable for demanding industrial environments where robustness against physical damage and contamination is critical. Choose this variant over plastic housing models if IP69 protection class is necessary for washdown applications. Consider the IO-Link functionality if digital communication and advanced diagnostics are required for system integration.
