SICK WS/WE100L-E1131 laser through-beam sensor for long-range detection up to 30 m. Fast response, compact design, ideal for high-speed automation.
The SICK WS/WE100L-E1131 W100 Laser through-beam photoelectric sensor is engineered for accurate long-distance detection in demanding industrial environments. Built around a visible red Class 1 laser, it provides stable object sensing over distances up to 30 m, even when targets are small or moving at high speed. Its compact W100 form factor solves space constraints on machines while maintaining precise beam alignment, making it a dependable choice for automation tasks where conventional sensors struggle with range, speed, or consistency.
In practical use, the WS/WE100L-E1131 supports high-performance production by delivering extremely fast signal response, allowing reliable detection on rapid conveyors and automated handling systems. The through-beam operating principle ensures consistent performance regardless of object color or surface characteristics, reducing adjustment effort and false switching. Fine sensitivity tuning and selectable light or dark switching simplify setup across varied applications. Combined with a rugged, industrial-grade enclosure, the sensor contributes to stable operation, reduced downtime, and long-term process reliability.
Why SICK WS/WE100L-E1131?
SICK WS/WE100L-E1131 is chosen when detection accuracy cannot be compromised over long distances. Its laser-based through-beam design delivers a sharply defined light path that remains stable even with vibration, dust, or changing ambient conditions. The compact W100 housing fits into tight machine layouts, while fast response and fine sensitivity control allow it to keep pace with high-speed automation without complex setup or frequent recalibration.
What problem does it solve?
This sensor solves the challenge of reliably detecting small, thin, or fast-moving objects where standard photoelectric sensors fail. It eliminates false triggers caused by object color, surface reflectivity, or background interference by using a dedicated emitter and receiver. As a result, it ensures consistent object detection across long conveyor spans, transfer lines, and automated systems, improving process stability and reducing unplanned downtime.

In modern packaging lines, products move rapidly with minimal gaps, making reliable detection difficult for standard sensors. The WS/WE100L-E1131 addresses this by combining a laser through-beam principle with an extremely fast response time. Its focused beam detects cartons, sachets, or wrapped goods consistently, even when surfaces are glossy or printed with complex graphics. The long sensing distance allows sensors to be mounted away from mechanical hazards while still maintaining precise triggering. This improves counting accuracy, synchronizes downstream processes such as sealing or labeling, and reduces the risk of line stoppages caused by missed or unstable detection.
Assembly systems often handle very small or thin parts that are challenging to sense reliably, especially when machines operate at high speed. The WS/WE100L-E1131 provides a sharply defined laser beam that can detect small components as they pass through the sensing zone. Its adjustable sensitivity allows engineers to fine-tune detection without constant mechanical adjustment. Because the through-beam method is unaffected by material color or surface finish, detection remains stable across different batches of parts. This results in fewer assembly errors, reduced scrap rates, and improved overall equipment effectiveness.
Automated warehouses rely on sensors to monitor the movement of totes, cartons, and pallets across long conveyor routes. The WS/WE100L-E1131 performs reliably in these environments by maintaining stable detection over extended distances, even in dusty conditions or variable lighting. Its fast switching capability supports accurate tracking of moving loads, enabling precise sorting, accumulation control, and routing decisions. The compact housing simplifies installation in tight conveyor frames. By providing consistent object presence signals, the sensor helps reduce manual intervention and supports smooth, continuous material flow.
Industrial machines require accurate confirmation of part presence or position to maintain safety and process consistency. The WS/WE100L-E1131 is well suited for these tasks due to its compact design and long sensing range, allowing flexible mounting around moving machine elements. The laser beam provides repeatable detection of carriers, workpieces, or machine components, even at high cycle speeds. Selectable light or dark switching simplifies integration into control systems. This ensures precise timing, supports safety-related interlocks, and contributes to reliable machine operation across different production setups.
