SICK Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor
Model: VSE12-2P430
Part Number: 6026224
1. General Description
The SICK VSE12-2P430 is a cylindrical M12 photoelectric sensor that operates in retro-reflective mode. It is designed to detect objects that pass between the sensor and a separately mounted reflector.
This model features a robust housing, a visible red light source for easy alignment, and a standard M12 4-pin connector. It provides complementary PNP outputs, meaning it has both a Normally Open (NO) and a Normally Closed (NC) output available simultaneously, offering high flexibility for control applications.
Key Features 🎯
- Sensing Principle: Photoelectric, Retro-Reflective (requires a reflector)
- Long Sensing Range: Up to 4 meters, providing reliable detection.
- Complementary Outputs: Provides both Normally Open (Q) and Normally Closed (QÌ„) outputs.
- Standard M12 Housing: Cylindrical threaded design for easy and universal mounting.
- Clear Status Indication: Integrated LEDs for power-on and output state.
- Durable Construction: IP67 rating for high resistance to dust and water.
