David Lagerstrom SICK, Inc. announces the new WTR photoelectric proximity sensor specifically designed for accumulation, loading and unloading applications on roller conveyors. The WTR's design makes it easy to install and operate.
Proximity sensing means there is no reflector to mount.
Also, the WTR's unique design allows it to rest below the rollers, where it is nearly invisible, won't interfere with the conveyor, and is less likely to be damaged by product loading and assembly. The sensor, valve and logic come in one compact unit, eliminating PLCs and complex wiring. The WTR's combination of advanced technology and easy setup make it the perfect choice for flawless roller conveying. The WTR features a tapered shape to fit between rollers and vertical optics to reduce interference from falling dirt or objects. These features make it ideal for conveyors in warehouses and factories.
