The WTF12G-3 is an opto-electronic photoelectric proximity sensor (referred to as "sensor" in the
following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and persons. If the product is
used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall
become void.
Photoelectric proximity sensor with foreground suppression with additional option for the detec‐
tion of transparent objects
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object or back‐
ground according to the corresponding diagram [H/F]. (x = Distance sensor to stable back‐
ground, y = maximum distance between sensor and object). The minimum distance (= y) for reli‐
able object detection can be determined from diagram [H] as follows:
Example: x = 500 mm, y = 300 mm. That is, when it is the object to be detected is a transparent
tray and the background is positioned at a distance of 500 mm from the sensor, the distance
between sensor and object must not exceed 300 mm.
