SICK Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 0 → 15 m Detection Range

SICK G6 retroreflective photoelectric sensors are enclosed in a miniature housing and deliver optimum performance. Distinguished by the ability to offer reliable detection over long sensing distances. The sensors are compatible for various operations, with the in-built SICK ASIC technology. The G6 photoelectric sensors are a milestone for the whole world of automation, with a wide selection of variants, simple mounting and excellent detection reliability, even under difficult conditions.

With PinPoint LEDs that detect all kinds of objects including transparent objects, light & dark, large or small and even people. The PinPoint technology provides a precise, highly visible light spot that is unaffected by peripheral light.

Setup of the G6 photoelectric sensors is simple with the sensitivity and sensing distance adjusted using a rotary potentiometer on top of the sensor body. A second adjustable potentiometer on the rear allowing switching between light and dark mode.

·IP67 rated highly reliable & durable enclosure
·Easy alignment and precise object detection due to a highly visible PinPoint LED
·Quick and easy mounting and high durability due to threaded metal inserts
·SICK ASIC technology provides high performance and excellent reliability
·Easy to adjust potentiometers with crosshead set screws
·Easy to monitor with two large, bright indicator LEDs visible from multiple angles
