5334004

Overview

The SICK part number 5334004 corresponds to the WTB9-3P2461, a block-shaped photoelectric sensor from the DeltaPac series. This device utilizes background suppression technology for precise object detection within a range of 30 mm to 40 mm. It features an NPN output type and is equipped with a red light source. The sensor is designed for industrial environments, offering an IP67 protection rating against dust and water ingress. Electrical specifications include a maximum DC voltage of 30V and a maximum current of 100 mA. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +55°C and includes a 2-meter cable for electrical connection.

Feature Summary

• Background suppression functionality ensures reliable detection by ignoring objects beyond the target distance.
• Compact block-shaped design facilitates integration into confined installation spaces.
• Robust construction with IP67 rating suitable for demanding industrial conditions.

Applications

• Automated assembly line monitoring
• Packaging machine object verification
• Conveyor belt presence detection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required cable length and connector type. Confirm that the NPN output polarity aligns with the control system input requirements. Ensure the operating environment temperature remains within the specified -40°C to +55°C range. Check for compliance with local safety certifications such as CE or UL if applicable to the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when precise short-range detection is required without interference from background elements. The background suppression feature is critical for applications involving reflective surfaces or varying object colors. Ensure the 2-meter cable length meets the distance requirements between the sensor and the controller. Consider the NPN output compatibility with existing PLC or logic interfaces.
