SICK WL2S-2P3130 compact photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PinPoint LED for precise, reliable object detection in industrial automation.
SICK WL2S-2P3130 photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PinPoint LED is a compact industrial sensor engineered for accurate object detection in tight installation spaces. It uses visible red PinPoint LED and coaxial optics to deliver precise, repeatable sensing even when objects are small, fast-moving, or closely positioned. With a detection distance extending up to 1.2 m when paired with suitable reflectors, along with IP67-rated protection and a reliable PNP output, this sensor effectively solves challenges related to unstable detection, limited mounting space, and demanding factory environments.
The SICK WL2S-2P3130 is designed to provide stable sensing performance across a wide range of automation tasks. Its focused light spot improves detection consistency on reflective or low-contrast targets, reducing false signals and process interruptions. The fast switching response supports high-speed conveyors, packaging lines, and assembly stations where timing accuracy is essential. A durable housing protects internal components from dust, moisture, and vibration, while maintenance-free operation lowers service effort. As a result, users benefit from higher machine uptime, simpler integration, and long-term operational reliability.
SICK WL2S-2P3130 is chosen when space, precision, and reliability must coexist in one sensing solution. Its ultra-compact W2 housing allows seamless integration into densely packed machines without redesigning mechanical layouts. The PinPoint LED with coaxial optics delivers a sharply defined detection spot, enabling stable sensing of small, fast, or closely spaced objects. Combined with fast response time, IP67 protection, and maintenance-free operation, this model offers long-term performance stability, making it a dependable choice for high-demand industrial automation and OEM machine designs.
The SICK WL2S-2P3130 solves the common challenge of unreliable object detection in confined or harsh industrial environments. Conventional sensors often struggle with misalignment, reflective surfaces, or limited mounting space, leading to false triggers and downtime. This model overcomes those issues by providing precise beam control, consistent signal output, and robust environmental protection. It ensures accurate presence detection even in high-speed processes, helping manufacturers reduce scrap, prevent process interruptions, and maintain consistent production quality across automated systems.

In densely packed assembly equipment, sensors must fit into narrow spaces while still delivering accurate detection. The WL2S-2P3130 is ideal for this role due to its ultra-compact housing and clearly focused PinPoint LED beam. It reliably detects small components moving between closely spaced stations without interference from surrounding machine parts. The fast response time supports high cycle rates, preventing missed triggers during rapid assembly sequences. Its coaxial optical design reduces sensitivity to misalignment and vibration, helping manufacturers maintain stable detection, consistent product quality, and high throughput in space-restricted automated assembly systems.
High-speed conveyors demand sensors that can keep pace without generating false signals. The WL2S-2P3130 provides consistent retro-reflective detection with a sharply defined light spot, making it suitable for sensing small boxes, carriers, or components in motion. Its high switching frequency ensures accurate signal output even when objects pass at short intervals. The PNP output allows straightforward integration with industrial controllers, while the sealed housing protects against dust and occasional moisture. This combination helps logistics and production facilities reduce counting errors, avoid conveyor stoppages, and maintain smooth material flow.
Packaging and labeling processes rely on precise presence confirmation before critical steps such as sealing or printing. The WL2S-2P3130 supports these tasks by delivering stable detection on packaging materials with varying surface finishes, including reflective films. The visible red light simplifies sensor alignment during installation and maintenance. Its quick response enables accurate detection of intermittent or rapidly moving packaging. By minimizing false detection and missed signals, the sensor helps reduce material waste, improve labeling accuracy, and support consistent operation in automated packaging equipment.
Small-part handling systems require dependable feedback to synchronize pick-and-place and transfer movements. The WL2S-2P3130 performs well in these applications thanks to its compact form factor and focused detection beam. It can be mounted close to guides or grippers without interfering with mechanical motion. The narrow light spot limits background detection, improving reliability when parts are closely spaced. Combined with durable environmental protection, the sensor operates consistently in dynamic, vibration-prone systems, helping integrators achieve precise timing, smoother automation cycles, and higher overall equipment efficiency.
