High-performance sensor in an extremely tough plastic housing 

The W9-3 offers best in class performance packaged in a housing that is as tough as nails. Its rugged plastic housing, called VISTAL, is 9 x stronger than ABS plastic and is able to withstand harsh environments along with a high resistance to chemicals. It features best-in-class background suppression using SICK OES3 technology, providing reliable detection of difficult targets, such as multicolored, shiny, and dark objects. Finally, with its wide variety of housing, mounting and sensing types, this one sensor family can solve varying application needs.

Features:

• VISTAL™ housing material
• PinPoint LED
• Pilot LED (2nd sender LED)
• Variable mounting with M3 or M4 screws
• Multiple connection options
• Continuous threshold adaption for clear material object detection

Applications:

• Packaging: W9-3 sensors are able to detect different colored objects and ignore shiny targets due to precise background suppression.
• Clear material object detection: The W9-3 uses continuous threshold adaption (CTA) which adjusts the sensor’s switching point continuously to allow for the best performance while detecting clear material.
• Food and beverage: OES3 technology allows the W9-3 to detect multicolored and shiny objects without losing its signal.

Benefits:

• Tough VISTAL™ housing ensures that the sensor can be installed without fear of damage during installation and operation
• Best-in-class background suppression using OES3 technology provides reliable detection of difficult targets
• PinPoint LED with highly visible light spot provides quick and easy alignment and detection
• Slotted through holes provides flexibility for multiple mounting options
• With its wide variety of connection, mounting and sensing options, this one sensor family can solve varying application needs
