What the sensing range means in practice
The WT160-F480: The 0 … 1000 mm sensing range covers most conveyor, packaging, and material-handling applications where you need to detect a box, pallet, or part at a distance up to one meter. Because it's a photoelectric proximity sensor, it emits a light beam and detects the reflected signal from the target — no separate reflector or receiver needed. That simplifies mounting and alignment on a line where you're retrofitting or adding a detection point.
