Sick GRTE18-P2467 Photoelectric Sensor

The GRTE18-P2467 is a high-precision photoelectric proximity sensor from Sick that uses the energetic detection principle to ensure accurate sensing across variable target surfaces. It operates using visible red light with a wavelength of 650 nm, emitted from a durable LED light source. The sensor’s sensing range of 10 mm to 800 mm (max 1,000 mm) makes it suitable for mid- to long-range detection in conveyor systems and automated production lines.

Built in a rugged M18 cylindrical housing with axial light emission, the GRTE18-P2467 is designed for ease of installation using a standard M12 4-pin male connector. It supports a wide supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, consumes just 30 mA, and delivers quick responses with a < 1,000 µs reaction time. The sensor offers PNP switching output and supports both light and dark switching modes for flexible integration into control systems. It also features LED indicators (green and yellow) for real-time power and switching status.

Engineered with industrial resilience in mind, this Sick photoelectric sensor comes with a plastic ABS housing and PMMA optics, offering robust protection against vibration and environmental exposure. Its IP67 enclosure rating ensures reliability in harsh conditions including dusty, wet, or outdoor settings. The package includes two fastening nuts for quick mounting, and its compact form factor makes it an ideal solution for space-constrained installations.

The Sick GRTE18-P2467 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in industrial automation applications where accurate object detection is essential for system efficiency. It’s especially useful in packaging lines, robotic arms, and material handling systems where space is limited and detection distance is critical.

Thanks to its 800 mm sensing range and quick 500 Hz switching frequency, the GRTE18-P2467 can reliably detect small or irregularly shaped objects moving at high speed. It minimizes false positives caused by background reflections, making it suitable for high-gloss or transparent targets. In industries like FMCG, automotive, and light manufacturing, it helps improve throughput and ensures proper alignment, counting, and positioning of components.

For engineers working in dusty or humid conditions, the Sick GRTE18-P2467 Photoelectric Sensor provides a dependable sensing solution that performs consistently without frequent maintenance. This photoelectric sensor combines ease of use, long sensing range, and rugged build quality—ideal for both new machine builds and retrofits.
