1045112

Overview

The SICK model 1045112 is a GL2S-N1312 retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. It operates using a visible red PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 640 nm, ensuring high contrast against various background materials. The device features a dual-lens system that defines a minimum detection distance and controls the light spot size, which measures approximately 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm. The standard detection range extends from 0.03 meters to 2.5 meters when paired with the recommended PL40A reflector, while the maximum operational range reaches up to 3 meters under specific conditions. The compact housing dimensions are 7.7 mm in width, 21.8 mm in height, and 13.5 mm in depth, facilitating integration into space-constrained machinery. The sensor utilizes a square housing shape for the emitter component and does not require manual adjustment for operation.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a PinPoint LED technology to generate a focused light spot, enhancing detection accuracy on small targets or distant objects.

Applications

• Automated material handling systems requiring precise position verification
• Industrial packaging machinery for detecting product presence
• Assembly line monitoring where compact sensor footprint is required

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with the PL40A rectangular screw-mount reflector for optimal performance within the specified detection range. Ensure the installation environment remains within the operational temperature limits defined by the sensor specifications. Confirm that the mounting location allows for the required optical path without obstruction. Check for necessary accessories such as protective covers if the application involves harsh environmental conditions or potential mechanical impact.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact retro-reflective sensor with a narrow light spot is required for long-distance detection applications. The visible red light aids in alignment during installation. Consider the fixed detection range limitations compared to adjustable models. Evaluate the need for additional safety certifications if the application involves safety-related functions, as this unit is primarily designed for general sensing tasks.
