W16 WTB16P Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
Part number WTB16P-24162120A00
Background-suppression photoelectric sensor, 40–950 mm range, PNP, IO-Link v1.1, BluePilot alignment, M12 connector.
- CE
- UL
- RoHS
- REACH

Overview
The SICK W16 with TwinEye technology detects objects reliably regardless of colour, gloss or angle — the usual failure points of simpler photoelectric sensors on conveyors. BluePilot alignment shows the detection point with a blue LED line, so one person can set it up, and IO-Link provides contamination and operating-hour data for maintenance planning. The WTB16P-24162120A00 is the PNP, M12-connector variant with 950 mm sensing range.
