1042855

Overview

The SICK part number 1042855 corresponds to the GL2S-N1312, a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor. It features a square housing with dimensions of 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm. The device utilizes a visible red PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 640 nm. When paired with the PL40A reflector, it offers a maximum detection range of 3 meters and a standard detection range of 2.5 meters. The optical spot size is Ø 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm. The unit has an average service life of 100,000 hours at +25 °C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a double-lens system for precise PinPoint LED light projection
• Designed for operation with retro-reflective sensors using specific reflectors
• Compact square housing suitable for space-constrained installations

Applications

• Object detection in automated assembly lines
• Position verification in packaging machinery
• Presence sensing in material handling systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete ordering code includes necessary accessories such as the required reflector (e.g., PL40A) and connection cables (e.g., DOS-0803-GPC). Confirm that the application environment does not exceed the specified temperature limits or require safety certifications beyond standard industrial classifications. Ensure compatibility with existing control logic for non-adjustable sensor outputs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor and high precision are required for short to medium-range detection tasks. The fixed adjustment mechanism simplifies installation compared to teach-in models. Consider the optical spot size relative to target dimensions to ensure reliable switching. Evaluate the need for specific reflector types to achieve the desired detection range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GL2S series of photoelectric sensors from SICK. The series is characterized by its small footprint and robust design for industrial environments. It is part of the Track and Trace Systems product category, focusing on reliable object detection and positioning tasks within automation workflows.

Replacement Considerations
