Durable SICK OBS-W24 protective housing with air-purged dust control for W24 sensors. Ensures clear detection, reduced maintenance, and reliable performance in harsh environments.
The SICK OBS-W24 protective housing is engineered to keep W24-2 series sensors operating reliably in harsh, dust-filled environments. Its air-purged construction creates a controlled airflow barrier that prevents particles from accumulating on the optical path, helping maintain consistent detection accuracy. Built from anodised aluminum and supplied with mounting hardware, the compact unit integrates easily into existing machine layouts. This protective housing reduces the cleaning frequency usually required in dusty operations, helping extend sensor availability and supporting stable performance in applications where airborne contaminants can disrupt sensing quality.
The SICK OBS-W24 protective housing provides durable physical shielding while actively clearing dust from the sensor view using an air-purge tube. Its rugged aluminum design withstands demanding industrial conditions, offering long-lasting protection for optical sensors exposed to debris or turbulent airflow. A quick-action connector simplifies hose installation, and a built-in mounting channel supports flexible positioning. By keeping the sensor window cleaner for longer periods, the housing minimizes unexpected interruptions, reduces manual maintenance tasks, and helps ensure reliable detection in production lines, conveyor systems, outdoor equipment, or any setting where dust and fine particles challenge standard sensor operation.
The SICK OBS-W24 is designed for environments where sensors must stay clean to stay accurate. Its air-purged housing creates a constant protective airflow that shields the sensing window from dust and fine debris. This allows your W24-2 sensor to operate longer without cleaning, delivering consistent performance even in tough, particle-intensive industrial conditions.
Dust buildup can distort readings, cause false triggers, or force repeated manual cleaning of sensors. The OBS-W24 solves this by maintaining a clear optical path through continuous air purging and rugged shielding. It prevents contaminants from settling, reduces downtime, and ensures your detection system remains reliable, even where airborne particles normally compromise sensor accuracy.

Facilities that move crushed minerals, powdered cement, or similar materials often battle constant dust clouds that settle on optical sensors and interrupt detection tasks. The OBS-W24 protective housing helps overcome this by directing a steady stream of air across the sensor’s viewing surface, preventing fine particles from adhering. This allows the W24-2 sensor to maintain reliable object detection even when the air is filled with suspended debris. Its robust construction tolerates vibration from large conveyor drives, and flexible mounting options make placement simple. With clearer optics and fewer stoppages for cleaning, production lines run more smoothly and yield more accurate feedback to operators.
Packaging areas handling flour, starch blends, powdered beverages, or baking ingredients often generate light airborne dust that can easily obscure sensor lenses. By using the OBS-W24 housing, airflow continually clears the sensor’s line of sight to maintain stable detection during rapid filling or sealing cycles. Its compact shape fits comfortably in tight machinery layouts, and the anodised exterior resists buildup, keeping hygiene management easier. As sensors remain cleaner for longer periods, false triggers decrease and machines require fewer manual interventions. This contributes to consistent throughput, smoother machine rhythm, and a more dependable quality-control process across the entire packaging line.
Outdoor sensing points—such as vehicle detection areas, automated barriers, or remote material monitoring stations—often face drifting dirt, dry soil, or fine sand carried by wind. The OBS-W24 helps preserve sensor clarity by forming a controlled airflow barrier that keeps contaminants from reaching the optical surface. Its sturdy aluminum body withstands harsh weather changes and mechanical stress associated with outdoor installations. With fewer field visits required for cleaning or recalibration, the sensor system stays functional for longer intervals. This improves operational uptime in locations that are difficult to access and ensures reliable detection where environmental conditions frequently change.
Workspaces that cut wood, trim paper sheets, or process biomass materials tend to release small fibers and dust that constantly move through the air. These particles can easily block or distort optical readings if left unmanaged. The OBS-W24 housing counters this by sweeping air across the window, discouraging debris from settling on the sensor surface. Its durable build withstands equipment vibration produced by saws, cutters, or shredders, while adjustable mounting allows precise alignment. With a consistently clear sensor view, measurement accuracy improves and machines require fewer pauses for manual cleaning. This enables longer uninterrupted production cycles and more dependable sensor-based monitoring.
