Product Description
SICK GL6G Series Photoelectric Sensors: Compact Retro-Reflective Sensors for Industrial Automation
Product Overview
The SICK GL6G series is a family of retro-reflective photoelectric sensors designed for precise object detection in compact industrial applications. Housed in a miniature enclosure (12 mm × 31.5 mm × 21 mm), these sensors leverage PinPoint LED technology and SICK ASIC to deliver reliable performance with a detection range of up to 6 meters. With IP67 protection, metal-threaded inserts, and dual-lens systems, they are suited for logistics, packaging, and material handling environments.

Key Features
  • PinPoint LED Technology: Generates a bright, visible red spot for precise alignment and detection of objects, including transparent materials like glass or film.
  • SICK ASIC Integration: Embeds proprietary circuitry for enhanced noise immunity, stability, and resistance to crosstalk, ensuring consistent performance in electrically noisy environments.
  • Compact and Durable Design: Metal-threaded inserts enable secure mounting with standard M3 screws, while the IP67-rated housing resists dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.
  • User-Friendly Configuration: Features a 270° potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment and bright LED indicators for status monitoring, simplifying setup and maintenance.
  • Polarization Filter: Suppresses false triggers from reflective surfaces by detecting only polarized light from approved reflectors (e.g., PL80A).
Application Scenarios
  • Logistics and Conveyor Systems: Detects packages, pallets, or containers on conveyor belts, ensuring accurate positioning and jam prevention in warehouses.
  • Transparent Object Detection: Identifies glass bottles, plastic films, or transparent packaging in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production lines.
  • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Monitored load presence and positioning on AGVs, with resilience to vibration and ambient light interference.
  • Access and Safety Systems: Secures gates, doors, or machinery by detecting personnel or obstacles in hazardous zones.
  • Packaging Machinery: Verifies label application, fill levels, or box sealing with high-repeatability switching.
