1612506

Overview

The SICK model 1612506 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial object detection. It operates using visible red light with a wavelength of 635 nm and utilizes a PinPoint LED as the light source. The device features a rectangular housing design with dimensions of 21.5 mm in width, 36 mm in height, and 37.7 mm in depth. It supports a maximum sensing range of 0 to 1.5 meters when used with the specified P250F reflector. Adjustment is performed via a potentiometer, allowing for precise configuration of the detection threshold.

Feature Summary

• Detects transparent, perforated, uneven, shiny, and flat objects
• Position-independent detection within the light array
• Dual lens system for minimum distance to reflector

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects
• Detection of perforated objects
