1090096

Overview

The SICK model 1090096 is a GL2S-N1312 retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection. It features a PinPoint LED light source emitting visible red light at a wavelength of 640 nm, ensuring high resolution with an average service life of 100,000 hours. The device operates within a detection range of 0.03 m to 2.5 m when used with the PL40A reflector. Its compact housing measures 7.7 mm in width, 21.8 mm in height, and 13.5 mm in depth, providing a square form factor suitable for tight installation spaces.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a PinPoint LED system for focused light projection and high-resolution detection
• Features a compact square housing design optimized for space-constrained applications
• Provides reliable background suppression capabilities through dual-lens technology

Applications

• Automated packaging machinery requiring precise label or package edge detection
• Conveyor belt systems for identifying small components or gaps
• Industrial automation setups needing non-contact position verification

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order code matches the required detection range and mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with the intended reflector type, such as the PL40A, to achieve specified performance metrics. Confirm that environmental conditions align with the operational limits defined in the technical documentation before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high spatial resolution is critical for detecting small targets or precise edges. The PinPoint technology distinguishes it from standard diffuse sensors, making it ideal for applications where beam spread could cause false triggers. Consider the compact dimensions if mechanical integration space is limited compared to larger industrial sensor housings.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GL2S series of photoelectric sensors from SICK. The series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for demanding industrial environments. The GL2S-N1312 variant specifically addresses applications requiring accurate detection over short to medium distances with minimal blind spot interference.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public data. When replacing, ensure the new unit supports the same voltage requirements and output signal type. Verify that the replacement maintains the necessary detection range and housing dimensions for seamless mechanical integration.
