Sick VL18-2P4162 Photoelectric Reflex Sensor 10-30V DC M18

The reflex sensor, also known as retro-reflective photoelectric sensor, reflex light scanner, or reflex button, with type number VL18-2P4162 from Sick is a photoelectric sensor for object detection and position sensing. It operates with a supply voltage of 10-30V DC and features an M18 housing. The device has the dimensions 14 x 3 x 14.5 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Reflex sensors utilize the reflection of emitted light from a separate reflector to detect objects that interrupt the light beam, thereby signaling presence or position. Typical applications include material handling for detecting pallets and containers, the packaging industry for monitoring feeders, and assembly automation for precise positioning of components.
