SICK WT100L-F2141 Laser Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
The SICK WT100L-F2141 laser photoelectric proximity sensor is a compact sensing solution designed for precise detection of small, narrow, or fast-moving objects in industrial automation systems. By using a focused visible red laser, it addresses common detection problems such as missed targets, unstable signals, and limited installation space. With a detection range up to 400 mm and an ultra-slim housing, this sensor fits easily into tight machine layouts while maintaining high accuracy. Its fast signal response makes it suitable for applications where timing and repeatability are critical.
The WT100L-F2141 is engineered to deliver consistent detection performance in environments where conventional photoelectric sensors may struggle. The fine laser spot allows reliable sensing of tiny components, sharp edges, and rapidly moving parts without interference from surrounding objects. High switching speed supports fast production cycles, while adjustable light and dark switching enables flexible integration into different control logics. Durable construction with environmental protection ensures dependable operation in everyday industrial conditions, helping manufacturers improve process stability, reduce false detection, and maintain throughput in automated production lines.
Why SICK WT100L-F2141?
SICK WT100L-F2141 stands out when detection accuracy, speed, and space efficiency must coexist. Its laser-based sensing delivers a sharply defined detection point that stays reliable even on tiny, fast-moving, or irregular objects. The compact housing fits seamlessly into dense machine designs, while fast response times support high-speed automation. This balance of precision, robustness, and easy adjustment makes it a dependable choice for modern production lines that cannot afford misreads or downtime.
What problem does it solve?
The WT100L-F2141 solves the challenge of inconsistent object detection in demanding industrial environments. Traditional sensors often struggle with small parts, narrow edges, or rapid motion, leading to missed signals or false triggers. By using a focused laser beam and high switching frequency, this sensor maintains stable detection regardless of object size or speed. It ensures reliable presence sensing where accuracy directly impacts quality, efficiency, and process control.
