SICK WL260-R270 Reflex Photoelectric Switch Sensor

The SICK WL260-R270 reflex photoelectric switch sensor uses reflector-based detection to sense objects up to approximately 10 meters away, making it a solid choice for conveyor lines, pallet detection, and packaging equipment requiring extended-range, reliable sensing. It provides a PNP switching output with light/dark switching selectable, powered from 10–30 V DC, and boasts a sub-1 ms response time with a switching frequency up to about 500 Hz. Housing is industrial-grade plastic with IP65/IP67 protection, suitable for dusty or wet factory environments, and mounting follows standard industrial practices with options for cable or connector variants. Manufactured by SICK, the WL260-R270 is part of a family that includes common replacements such as WL260-R230, WL250-P430, and WL18-3P430.
