1094047

Overview

The SICK part number 1094047 corresponds to the GL2S-N1312, a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor. It features a rectangular housing measuring 7.7 mm in width, 21.8 mm in height, and 13.5 mm in depth. The device utilizes a visible red light source with a wavelength of 640 nm and employs a PinPoint LED technology for precise detection. The optical system is designed with a double lens configuration. Standard operating range is specified as 0.03 m to 2.5 m when used with the PL40A reflector, while the maximum detection range extends to 0.02 m to 3 m under specific conditions. The light spot size measures Ø 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm.

Feature Summary

• Retro-reflective sensing principle utilizing a double lens system for enhanced signal stability.
• PinPoint LED technology provides a focused light spot for accurate object detection.
• Compact rectangular housing design suitable for installation in confined spaces.

Applications

• Object detection in automated packaging machinery
• Position monitoring in conveyor systems
• Presence verification in assembly stations

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required accessory, specifically the PL40A reflector, is included or ordered separately, as it is essential for operation. Confirm the cable connection type matches the control system interface. Ensure the mounting environment temperature remains within the operational limits defined by the manufacturer. Check for any specific ordering suffixes if variant configurations are needed.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor is required for tight installation spaces. The retro-reflective principle offers cost-effective solutions compared to through-beam sensors. Consider the PinPoint feature if high precision is necessary for small targets. Evaluate the 640 nm wavelength compatibility with existing optical environments to prevent interference from ambient light sources.
