The GRL18S-F2336 is a Dual Lens Photoelectric Sensor manufactured by Sick, a world leader in industrial sensing technology. Built with German precision, this Sick Photoelectric Sensor offers dependable performance and accurate object detection in industrial automation, packaging, and conveyor systems where reliability and long range are essential.
The Sick GRL18S-F2336 operates as a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor featuring an advanced dual-lens optical system and visible red PinPoint LED with a wavelength of 650 nm. This technology enables highly accurate detection across a sensing range of 0.06 m to 6 m, with a maximum range up to 7.2 m when paired with the appropriate reflector. The strong and focused 175 mm light spot at 7 m ensures consistent detection of small and reflective targets, even in dusty or low-contrast environments. Designed for industrial flexibility, the sensor supports a PNP dark-switching output and operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply with low current consumption of only 30 mA. The quick response time below 500 Β΅s and switching frequency of 1 kHz make it suitable for high-speed automation lines. Housed in a durable M18 cylindrical ABS body with PMMA optics, the GRL18S-F2336 Photoelectric Sensor provides long-lasting durability and resistance to vibration and moisture, meeting the IP67 protection class. The M12 3-pin connector ensures simple installation and secure electrical connections, supported by dual LED indicators for real-time operating status. These features make it a top choice for precision-driven industrial setups.
For installation and configuration details, engineers can refer to the GRL18S-F2336 datasheet and GRL18S-F2336 manual for wiring guidance and operating parameters. When evaluating GRL18S-F2336 price options, buyers will find it delivers exceptional performance, long service life, and low maintenance requirements. Backed by Sickβs industrial-grade quality, the Sick GRL18S-F2336 Dual Lens Photoelectric Sensor remains a preferred choice among OEMs and plant engineers seeking high-accuracy, long-range detection for automation systems.
