SICK WL2S-2E1330 compact photoelectric sensor with PinPoint LED, fast response, IP67 housing, and reliable detection for space-limited automation systems.
SICK WL2S-2E1330 photoelectric retro-reflective sensor is a space-saving detection device engineered for accurate and stable object sensing in compact industrial installations. Built with coaxial optics and a visible red PinPoint LED, it delivers precise detection of small targets and reflective materials at short to medium distances. With fast response times, reliable NPN output, and a rugged IP67-rated housing, the WL2S-2E1330 addresses common automation challenges such as limited mounting space, alignment sensitivity, and inconsistent detection in high-speed production environments.
The SICK WL2S-2E1330 is designed to simplify reliable sensing in real-world automation systems. Its focused light spot improves detection accuracy for small components, packaging edges, and closely spaced objects, even on shiny surfaces. The built-in polarizing filter helps suppress false signals, while the robust housing protects the sensor from dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. With a wide operating voltage range and no manual adjustment required, the sensor enables quick installation, reduces setup errors, and supports long-term stable operation in conveyors, assembly machines, and compact handling equipment.
The SICK WL2S-2E1330 is chosen when precision, space efficiency, and reliability must coexist in a single sensor. Its ultra-compact housing allows installation where conventional photoelectric sensors simply do not fit, while the PinPoint LED with coaxial optics delivers clean, well-defined detection even on small or reflective targets. Designed for fast-moving automation systems, it combines high switching speed with stable signal performance, making it a dependable choice for engineers who want consistent results without time-consuming adjustment or frequent recalibration.
The SICK WL2S-2E1330 solves the challenge of unreliable object detection in tight or mechanically complex installations. In many machines, limited mounting space, reflective surfaces, or closely spaced products cause false signals or missed detections. This sensor overcomes those issues by producing a focused light spot and suppressing unwanted reflections, ensuring accurate switching even at high speeds. As a result, it reduces downtime, prevents counting or positioning errors, and improves overall process stability in automated production and material handling systems.

Compact conveyor systems used in electronics, medical disposables, or consumer goods packaging often provide very limited installation space for sensors. The WL2S-2E1330 is well suited for these conditions because of its slim housing and short, controlled sensing range. The PinPoint LED generates a concentrated light spot that accurately detects small products moving at high speed, even when gaps between items are minimal. Its fast switching response supports precise counting and positioning, while the polarizing filter helps prevent false signals caused by shiny packaging materials, maintaining stable and predictable conveyor operation.
In automated assembly stations, verifying that a component is correctly positioned before the next process step is critical. The WL2S-2E1330 provides reliable presence detection in confined tooling areas where sensor alignment is difficult. Coaxial optics ensure stable signal quality when detecting parts with varying surface finishes, including metal and molded plastics. The dark-switching output delivers clear logic states to the control system, reducing interpretation errors. Combined with its rugged housing, the sensor maintains consistent performance despite vibration, airborne particles, and frequent machine cycling.
Packaging and cartoning machines operate at high throughput, where missed detections can cause jams or incorrect product counts. The WL2S-2E1330 supports high switching frequencies, allowing it to track fast-moving cartons, trays, or wrapped items with precision. Its focused light spot improves detection of thin edges and irregular shapes, while resistance to reflective interference helps maintain accuracy on foil or film packaging. The sensor’s adjustment-free design shortens setup time during format changes, helping packaging lines remain efficient and reduce unplanned downtime.
Automated storage and retrieval equipment often integrates sensors into narrow rails, shuttles, or lifting mechanisms. The WL2S-2E1330 fits easily into these restricted spaces while delivering dependable short-range detection. Its durable construction supports continuous operation in environments with dust, temperature variation, and mechanical movement. Accurate detection of bins, carriers, or totes ensures correct positioning and movement control, reducing collision risks and mechanical wear. This contributes to smoother system operation, higher reliability, and improved long-term equipment availability.
