Overview
The Sick ZL1-F2800S07 is a professional-grade photoelectric sensor from the Z-Sensor family, engineered for dependable detection in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly line applications. This reflective-mode sensor operates across a 10-30VDC supply range and is designed to withstand demanding industrial environments while maintaining accurate, repeatable sensing performance.
Key Features
- Reflective detection mode for compact mounting without separate emitter/receiver units
- 10-30VDC supply voltage (12VDC/24VDC nominal compatible)
- Fast switching response suitable for high-speed production lines
- Robust sensing range characteristics for both standard and special reflectors
- Industrial-grade construction for harsh environment tolerance
- PNP output configuration for reliable signal transmission
Technical Specifications
The ZL1-F2800S07 incorporates Sick’s proven Z-Sensor technology, part of their comprehensive photoelectric sensor portfolio. Sensing range performance scales with reflector type—from 20mm reflective tape to 5000mm sensing distances with appropriate reflectors (PL80A, PL40A, PL20A, P250). The characteristic curve allows for precise switching point adjustment via potentiometer, enabling customization for diverse detection scenarios.
Typical Applications
- Assembly line object detection and positioning
- Packaging machinery presence detection
- Conveyor system monitoring
- Automated material handling systems
- Production line counting and sequencing
- Container and part verification in manufacturing
