INDUSTRY UPDATE SICK Goes Flat Out for Performance with Mini Smart Sensors
detection performance and incorporating powerful new optical technologies, each purpose-designed to master common sensing challenges with complete reliability. The SICK W4F family of photoelectric smart sensors

pack a choice of class-leading detection options and application-specific optics into the same, rugged, 16mm x 40mm x 12mm housing. Each features SICK’s trademark BluePilot push-turn pinpoint alignment and on-sensor status display. Impressing with their resilience to bright ambient light, the versatile W4F smart sensors multiply intelligent machine integration options for almost any application, no matter how tight the available mounting space. “The SICK W4F is really a team of tiny superstar
performers and each is destined to be a future workhorse of the SICK smart sensor range,” explains David Hannaby, SICK’s UK Product Manager for Presence Detection.
“Superstar Performers” “Whether you need to detect jet black, high-gloss, highly
reflective, perforated, transparent, wire-thin or flat products, the W4F has a specialist Optical Expert that is up to the task. At the same time, the W4F’s extended smart sensor features unlock more diagnostics and monitoring, while process information including distance measurement can be output to configure smart automation tasks. “We have had excellent feedback from the first users
of the SICK W4F photoelectric sensors. They have told us that they are getting the best-ever ambient light and sunlight suppression performance, as well as maximum immunity to all sources of optical interference.” The SICK W4F family comprises eight different sensor
types, split into the Optical Experts together with a range known as Optical Standards, but which deliver performance significantly above the market standard.
