The GSE2FS-E1161S17 Sick 100 mm Light Spot Through-beam Sensor is a through-beam photoelectric sensor used for long-distance object detection in industrial automation. The GSE2FS-E1161S17 Sick 100 mm Light Spot Through-beam Sensor operates with a 0–1,000 mm sensing range, NPN switching output, visible red PinPoint LED, and 800 Hz switching frequency. It belongs to the GTB series and supports stable optical detection across automated production systems.
This through-beam photoelectric sensor is applied in conveyors, packaging lines, automated assembly stations, and material handling systems. The defined Ø 100 mm light spot allows consistent detection across wide gaps, while the <0.625 ms response time supports fast-moving automation processes. IP67 protection and compact construction enable reliable operation in dust-prone and vibration-exposed industrial environments.
The Sick GSE2FS-E1161S17 photoelectric sensor combines predictable optical performance with stable electrical characteristics for industrial use. With 10–30 V DC supply, NPN output, and durable VISTAL® housing, it integrates smoothly into standard control architectures. Supported by Sick sensor engineering and the GTB series platform, GSE2FS-E1161S17 is suitable for repeatable long-range sensing in industrial automation applications.
