SICK G6 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR

SICK GTE6-P1212 – Photoelectric Proximity Sensor

Product Description

The SICK GTE6-P1212 is a compact photoelectric proximity sensor from the G6 series, designed for reliable non-contact detection of objects in industrial automation applications. It uses an energetic sensing principle and a visible red PinPoint LED to detect objects at distances up to 250 mm, with a maximum sensing range of 300 mm under specified conditions. Its focused light spot enables convenient alignment and dependable object detection.

The sensor features a compact rectangular ABS/PC housing, making it suitable for installations where mounting space is limited. Its adjustable sensitivity, PNP switching output, and selectable light/dark switching modes provide flexibility for different detection requirements. With an IP67 enclosure rating, fast response time, and robust construction, the GTE6-P1212 is ideal for conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly lines, and general factory automation.
