Fast, reliable, robust and suitable for countless industrial applications — the pioneering new W10 photoelectric proximity sensor from SICK comes complete with an intuitive touchscreen interface, making it easy to use and quick to set up.

The new all-in-one device is the first photoelectric sensor in the world to be launched with an onboard touchscreen display, providing a world-class intuitive user experience, with instant indication of the status of the device and performance of the system. Set-up is through pre-configured settings and multiple teach-in options for precise object detection.

With exceptional performance in different scenarios and environments, the robust W10 solves a wide range of industry problems. It has effortless adaptability to specific detection tasks and applications, all in a single device to avoid reconfiguration and unplanned downtimes.

SICK UK market product manager for presence detection, David Hannaby, states: “The new W10 is the next generation of sensing technology. It offers the familiarity of a touchscreen with the convenience of an all-in-one sensor. Customers can now buy one, manage one, inventory one, train on one, troubleshoot one and replace one​, with minimal effort needed for purchasing, administration, storage, training and maintenance. We have transformed the headache of having to select and stock hundreds of different parts into a single part number.
