Overview

The SICK GL2S-N1312 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection. It features a compact housing measuring 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm and utilizes a visible red PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 640 nm. The sensor operates with a maximum detection range of 3 meters when paired with the PL40A reflector, providing a standard detection range of 2.5 meters. The optical spot size measures Ø 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm. It is engineered for reliable performance in automated environments requiring high resolution and stable switching characteristics.

Feature Summary

• PinPoint LED technology ensures a focused light spot for accurate detection of small targets
• Compact square housing design facilitates installation in space-constrained applications
• Retro-reflective operating principle allows for simple alignment and setup

Applications

• Automated assembly lines requiring precise positioning
• Packaging machinery for detecting small components
• Material handling systems with limited mounting space

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the necessary reflectors, such as the PL40A or PL20A, as these are not included with the sensor unit. Confirm the required cable length and connector type if direct wiring is needed. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the operational temperature limits specified for the device. Cross-reference the订货代號 (Order Code) to guarantee compatibility with existing control systems.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high spatial resolution is critical due to its PinPoint light spot. It is suitable for applications where the target size is small relative to the detection distance. Consider the maximum detection range of 3 meters against the available mounting space. Evaluate the need for visible red light for easier alignment during commissioning compared to infrared alternatives.

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 industrial automation tasks. The GL2S-N1312 variant specifically denotes the configuration with the PinPoint LED and defined detection ranges. It complements other accessories like the Eco-Friendly Optic-Cleaner for maintenance.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers within the GL2S family that may offer improved environmental ratings or different connection types. Verify compatibility with existing reflectors before substituting. Ensure any replacement maintains the same voltage requirements and output signal type.
