W 18-2: Integrated state-
of-the-art technology for
intelligent solutions
Furthermore, the devices also
incorporate a large number of
features that are usually only
found in special versions, e.g. the
test input of the WS/WE 18-2
and WL 18-2, the adjustable
scanning distance with back-
ground suppression of the
WTV 18-2, individual plugs, or
status LEDs as signal strength
indicators, alignment aids, or pre-
failure signalling output.
The WTV 18-2 photoelectric prox-
T
imity switch has been specially
developed for and with the pack-
aging industry. Its features
include: its broad optical basis,
internally adjustable optics, state-
of-the-art electronics, powerful
background suppression and op-
timised light spot geometry which
together provide a previously
unattainable level of immunity
against ambient reflections. The
The W 18-2 series of photoelec-
tric switches is ideal for handling
systems as well as for packaging
machines and other complex
tasks. WT 18-2 photoelectric

to their glass-fibre-reinforced and detection of plastic bags on a
fully welded plastic housing, all of
these sensors have the robust-
ness required for industrial appli-
cations. Extremely large scanning
ranges are an additional feature:
up to 20 metres for the through-
beam photoelectric switch, up to
7 metres for the photoelectric
