SICK WL280-2P2431 Light Grid | Fork Type, 2-Beam, IP65, 24V DC, PNP Output

SICK WL280-2P2431 light grid specifications. Fork type photoelectric sensor, 2 beams, 24V DC, PNP output, IP65, for object detection and counting.

Product Overview

The SICK WL280-2P2431 is a fork-type, 2-beam photoelectric light grid sensor designed for object detection, counting, and positioning applications. It consists of a transmitter and receiver in a single U-shaped housing, creating a precise detection window. The sensor provides two independent PNP switching outputs, one for each beam, allowing for advanced object profiling or two-point monitoring. It is rated IP65 for use in industrial environments.

Key Features

  • 2 Independent Beams:​ Allows for object height differentiation, counting, or dual-point verification

  • PNP Outputs:​ Two sourcing outputs, one for each beam

  • Configurable Logic:​ Each output can be set as NO or NC

  • High Switching Frequency:​ Up to 1 kHz per beam for fast-moving objects

  • IP65 Protection:​ Resistant to dust and water jets

  • M12 Connector:​ Standard industrial quick-disconnect

  • Easy Alignment:​ Integrated alignment aids for simple setup

  • Compact Design:​ Space-saving U-shaped profile

Applications

  • Object counting on conveyors

  • Small part detection and sorting

  • Height verification and profiling

  • Fill level control in vials or containers

  • Break-in detection for safety guarding (non-safety rated)

  • Packaging and assembly machine monitoring

Important Notes

  1. This is a standard photoelectric sensor, not a safety-rated light curtain. Do not use for personnel safety guarding.

  2. The two beams operate independently; objects can be detected by one or both beams.

  3. Output logic (NO/NC) and other parameters are configurable via DIP switches or an external teach-in wire (model dependent).

  4. An M12, 8-pin male connector cable must be purchased separately.

  5. Performance can be affected by ambient light; ensure installation away from strong direct light sources.
