The SICK WSE26P-24162100A00Z2 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from the W26 family, rated for a 60 m sensing distance between emitter and receiver. The visible red PinPoint LED makes alignment straightforward on long axes — the beam is collimated enough that you can sight it across a 60 m gap without a separate laser alignment tool. Response time is 500 µs, which keeps up with fast-moving targets on a conveyor or gantry.
Rated IP66, IP67, and IP69 — the IP69 rating means the housing withstands 80 °C high-pressure washdown at 80–100 bar, which is the standard for food-and-beverage and dairy lines. The housing is 24.6 mm wide and 82.5 mm tall, fitting the standard 25 mm slot in most sensor mounting brackets. Termination is an M12 4-pin connector; no cable gland to torque, just plug in and run.
