The Sick GTE6-P1212 Photoelectric Sensor utilizes the energetic sensing principle for dependable object detection based on reflected light intensity. With a sensing range of up to 250 mm and a maximum capacity of 300 mm, it is designed to deliver consistent detection of small and low-reflectivity targets. A high-performance PinPoint LED light source emits visible red light at 650 nm, creating a 7 mm spot at 90 mm for focused, stable performance in cluttered machine zones. The mechanical 5-turn spindle enables fine-tuning of the switching point to match specific application needs.
Operating within a voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and drawing just 30 mA, this sensor supports PNP output and offers selectable light/dark switching modes. Its response time under 1.25 ms and switching frequency of 500 Hz make it suitable for moderate-speed automation systems. Encased in a durable ABS/PC rectangular housing (12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm) with an IP67 enclosure rating, it operates reliably in wet, dusty, and high-vibration environments. The 2-meter, 3-wire cable ensures easy integration into standard industrial setups. With stable performance from β25 Β°C to +55 Β°C, the GTE6-P1212 is trusted by engineers for its simplicity, longevity, and accuracy.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is commonly used in industrial systems where space-saving design and accurate object detection are essential. It performs reliably in automation setups like packaging machines, pick-and-place units, and automated inspection stations, where rapid detection and consistent output are key.
Senior maintenance engineers value its fast response time and IP67 durability, ensuring minimal downtime even in dusty or humid environments. Junior engineers and students appreciate the straightforward wiring and visible light beam, which simplify sensor alignment and reduce errors during installation. The WL4S-3F2130 is particularly effective in detecting translucent or semi-reflective materials and is favored in industries such as electronics, automotive, and FMCG where speed and precision must work together. Its compact form factor and Sick's proven reliability make it a dependable choice for new installations and upgrades alike.
