WTV18-2P420 are industrial-grade electro-mechanical sensors that use capacitive and inductive technologies to detect objects. These sensors can detect non-metallic materials as well as conductive objects. They are designed with a robust housing that can withstand harsh industrial environments.

The capacitive sensing technology in these sensors works by detecting changes in electric field caused by the presence of an object. Alternatively, the inductive sensing technology works by detecting changes in magnetic field. With these two sensing technologies, WTV18-2P420 sensors can provide reliable object detection in a variety of applications such as presence/absence of parts on a production line, machine guarding, and pallet position detection in material handling applications.
