W18-3 – greater detection performance and new opportunities
The W18-3 series of photoelectric switches sets a new standard in accuracy and operating properties. The WT18-3 photoelectric proximity switch is the technological highlight of the series: integration of the latest SICK chip technology offers the opportunity of, for the first time, setting scanning distances electronically with background suppression of a hitherto impossible precision.
The application experience gained from the forerunner families has been implemented in powerful system technology throughout the W18-3 series. Thus features such as further improved immunity to both ambient light and mutual interference are as standard for these devices as their optimised housing with reinforced mounting holes, their reader-friendly all-round LEDs, and their easy-to-clean flat optics. In addition to their mechanical strength, the devices' resistance to both electromagnetic and passive sources of interference, as well as local high-frequency mechanical vibrations, has also been increased. The detection precision and adjustability (key words: smaller red-light spot) of the WS/WE18-3 through-beam photoelectric switch and the WL18-3 photoelectric reflex switch have been considerably improved.
The WT 18-3: photoelectric proximity switch with state-of-the-art chip technology
The technological highlight of the series is without doubt the WT 18-3 photoelectric proximity switch. It is the first device of its kind with chip technology that has been specially developed for scanners. This not only provides considerably more precise detection results – it also allows electronic setting of the scanning distance with more accurate background suppression. Teach-in of scanning parameters can be carried out with an adjustment element. As options, scanner versions are available with one-button or two-button teach-in and additional fine adjustment. Regardless of the teach-in mode selected – chip technology and electronic adjustment now make definition of the work-points of all the scanners faster and more precise.No "generation gap" with the W18-3
During development of the W18-3, a great deal of attention was given to compatibility with predecessor series. One-to-one mechanical and electrical integration allow simple upgrading to the new W18-3 when replacing the "old" W18-2.
