SICK GL10-P7551 Photoelectric Sensor – Complete Product Overview

 

Product Name: SICK GL10-P7551

Brand: SICK

Product Type: Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor

Part Number: 1069046

Product Series: G10

1. Product Overview

The SICK GL10-P7551 is a compact industrial photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for reliable and accurate object detection without physical contact.

It works by emitting visible red light towards a reflector and receiving the reflected light back. When an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor detects its presence and changes its output signal.

One of its important advantages is its ability to reliably detect objects wrapped in transparent or reflective film. This makes it particularly useful in packaging industries, conveyor systems and automated production lines.

The sensor uses SICK's PinPoint LED technology and a dual-lens optical system to provide dependable detection performance in industrial environments.

2. Key Features

The main features of the SICK GL10-P7551 include:

• Retro-reflective Technology: Detects objects using a reflector and reflected light.

• Long Sensing Range: Maximum sensing distance of up to 12 metres with a PL80A reflector.

• Transparent Film Detection: Specially designed for reliable detection of objects wrapped in film.

• Dual-Lens Optical System: Provides reliable optical performance.

• PinPoint LED Technology: Produces a bright and clearly visible red light spot.

• PNP Switching Output: Provides a PNP output signal for industrial automation systems.

• Fast Response Time: Response time of up to 1 millisecond.

• High Switching Frequency: Supports switching frequencies up to 500 Hz.
