Overview

The SICK GL2S-N1312 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with a square housing measuring 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm. It utilizes a visible red PinPoint LED light source at 640 nm wavelength to project an average spot size of Ø 11 mm at 250 mm distance. The device operates within a detection range of 0.03 m to 2.5 m when paired with the PL40A reflector, achieving a maximum range of 3 m under specific conditions. It features Cd-043 connection type and offers an average service life of 100,000 hours at +25 °C.

Feature Summary

• PinPoint LED technology for precise spot projection
• Compact square housing design for space-constrained installations
• Retro-reflective operating principle for reliable object detection

Applications

• Automated material handling processes
