4083503

Overview

The SICK model 4083503 is a GL2S-N1312 retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection. It features a compact square housing measuring 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm and utilizes a PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 640 nm. The device operates within a detection range of 0.02 m to 3 m when paired with the PL40A reflector, producing an average spot size of Ø 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm. It employs a PNP switching output configured as a normally open contact and connects via a standardized interface. The unit achieves an IP67 protection rating and offers a rated service life of 100,000 hours under standard conditions.

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 environments
• Retro-reflective operating principle allows for simple alignment using standard reflectors

Applications

• Automated packaging machinery requiring precise position verification
• Conveyor belt sorting systems for detecting small components
• Assembly stations for presence monitoring of workpieces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required configuration. Confirm compatibility with the intended reflector type, such as the PL40A, to ensure optimal detection performance. Check that the electrical connection requirements align with the system's control voltage and input specifications. Ensure environmental conditions fall within the specified temperature and protection ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this sensor for applications demanding high precision on small objects where space is limited. The PinPoint technology distinguishes it from standard diffuse sensors. Consider the retro-reflective setup for easier wiring compared to through-beam alternatives. Evaluate the need for the specific mounting dimensions and the robustness provided by the IP67 rating against environmental factors.
