The Sick GRL18S-P233Y Photoelectric Sensor is built with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and IP67-rated enclosure, making it highly durable for demanding environments. Its photoelectric retro-reflective sensing principle, enhanced by a dual-lens system and visible red PinPoint LED, enables a sensing range of up to 6 meters with a clearly defined Γ 175 mm light spot at 7 meters. The sensor uses a 3-pin M12 connector for quick integration, while the response time is under 500 Β΅s, supporting high-speed automation workflows.
With a compact form factor of 18 mm x 18 mm x 38.1 mm and a cylindrical M18 x 1 housing design, this sensor fits easily into tight spaces without compromising performance. The output configuration is PNP with a light switching mode, delivering reliable signal control with a maximum current of 100 mA. It operates on a 10β30 V DC power supply and consumes just 30 mA, offering efficient energy usage for long-term operations. LED indicators (green/yellow) provide intuitive visual status updates, simplifying on-site diagnostics and setup.
Trusted across industries for its accuracy, speed, and stability, the Sick GRL18S-P233Y is an excellent choice for detecting objects in logistics, packaging, and manufacturing lines. It performs reliably in harsh conditions, with an ambient operating temperature range of β25 Β°C to +55 Β°C. Whether you need fast detection or long-range sensing in automated systems, this Photoelectric Sensor delivers dependable performance.
