The W12-3 sensor contains SICK’s third generation custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit), providing exceptional background and foreground suppression at an extended range. Both non-programmable and programmable potentiometer versions of the W12-3 feature an IP 69K-rated metal housing that enables the sensor to stand up to harsh cleaning agents. In addition, the W12-3 offers multiple mounting options (dovetail base and back mount, flanged-base through hole, diagonal through holes), and a 270° rotatable connection. |

Benefits
- Exceptional foreground and background suppression, reduces false trips
- Stands up to harsh wash down cleaning for increased reliability
- Multiple mounting options for more flexible use
- Complementary outputs in one housing, reduces needed inventory
Features
W12-3 Photoelectric Sensor
- OES3 technology provides superior background and foreground suppression at extended range
- IP69K rating - ideal for harsh wash down
- Flexible mounting options
- Complementary (light and dark operate) outputs in one housing
- Die cast zinc housing
Applications
- Packaging: to detect different colored objects and ignore shiny targets due to precise background suppression
- Pharmaceutical: detect small tablets or transparent bottles
- Food and beverage: detect multicolored and shiny objects without losing its signal
- Printing and paper industry: detect multicolored printed copies or paper web tears, even through a large amount of paper dust
- High-pressure wash down: the W12-3 is IP 69K-rated and can handle high-pressure Clean-in-Place (CIP), High Pressure Low Volume (HPLV), and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) cleaning methods
