SICK GE6 Series Photoelectric Sensor, Through Beam Detection Type, IP67 - GE6-N1111S68


This photoelectric sensor is a Compact through-beam receiver designed for industrial detection tasks where a separate emitter/receiver pair is required. It operates from a 10V–30V DC supply and uses an LED light source to detect objects across a practical sensing range, making it suitable for integration into automated machinery and control systems in manufacturing environments.

Features & Benefits


• Through-beam sensing for long-range object detection up to 15m
• Response time under 500μs for fast switching events
• IP67 ABS housing for protection in wet or dusty conditions
• Rated for operation to +55°C for high-temperature environments
• Cable connection with 3-wire 2m lead for straightforward installation

**Applications**


• Suitable for conveyor object presence detection over distances
• Ideal for pick-and-place systems requiring Rapid switching
• Used for end-of-line packaging verification with through-beam geometry
• Can be used for material-handling position feedback in harsh environments

What supply constraints should I observe during installation?


Operate the device on a DC supply between 10V to 30V with ripple within ±10% and ensure short-circuit protected networks do not exceed 8A in fault conditions.

How does the output behave electrically during heavy loads?


The NPN output can source typical HIGH/LOW signalling around the supply voltage and will provide up to 100mA output current, reduced to 50mA when the supply exceeds 24V.

What protections are integrated for industrial safety?


The unit includes reverse-polarity protection on supply lines, inputs and outputs, and overcurrent/short-circuit protection on outputs to reduce wiring fault risks.

How is switching mode selected and what is its maximum rate?


A light/dark selector on the housing sets the switching behaviour and the device supports switching frequencies up to 1000 Hz for high-speed applications.
