The W12 family is SICK's rugged photoelectric sensor for harsh production environments: a die-cast metal housing, a precise light spot and switching that stays stable when products change colour or finish. It is a common sight on bottling, food and packaging lines, where sensors are washed down and knocked by product.
Choose the principle by the task. WTB12 background-suppression sensors detect a product at a set distance and ignore everything behind it — ideal for dark or mixed-colour products. WTF12 foreground-suppression sensors do the opposite and detect when the known background is covered. WL12 retro-reflective sensors work with a reflector across the conveyor, and WSE12 through-beam pairs give the longest range.
Older codes such as WTB12-3P2431 and newer WTB12F/WTM12F types sit side by side in many plants. Send us the code from your sensor and we supply the same type or the current equivalent.
The codes our customers ask for most. Add the ones you need to your quote list — or send any other W12 Photoelectric Sensors variant and we check it for you.

FAQs
The sensor measures distance by triangulation and only switches for objects within its set range. Anything further away — a conveyor frame or a shiny wall — is ignored, which makes detection of dark products reliable.
