Sick WS160-D440 Sensor

The sensor, also known as photocell or light barrier, with type number WS160-D440 from Sick is an electrical light sensor. It has the dimensions 10 x 10 x 5 cm and weighs 0.01 kg. Electrical light sensors detect objects or measure distances without contact by emitting and receiving light signals. They are used in automation technology to detect presence, position, or even colors and to control processes. Typical applications include material flow technology for object detection on conveyor belts, in the packaging industry for fill level control and product counting, and in mechanical engineering for monitoring movements and controlling sequences.
