The W.1000 Series devices use a stress-free molded lens photoelectric sensor. Its one-piece body is ultrasonically welded to be completely watertight. The device has IP67 and NEMA 6 ratings and is able to withstand 1,200-psi washdowns. The W.1000 provides true background suppression, allowing the sensor to “see” dark-colored objects directly in front of a light-colored background without false reading and constant adjustment. www.sickoptic.com Sick Inc.
