Sick Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor, 0 → 15 m Detection Range

The GR18S family of photoelectric sensors in cylindrical M18-housings has a special shortened design and offers an optimal price/performance ratio. It can be used universally in many applications thanks to five different housing designs. Pinpoint LEDs, plastic and metal housing versions as well as status indicators that are easily visible from all angles round off the sensor family's features.

One highlight is the fully-flush metal variant, which has been especially designed for use in harsh industrial environments found in handling and warehousing systems.
