Sick G10 photoelectric sensor

Click2Contact

The Sick G10 photoelectric sensor requires minimal effort for setting and offers a high level of detection reliability and flexible 360° alignment.

The sensor has a maximum optical window surface combined with small sensor housing. It has a sensing range up to 1200 mm with background suppression performance.

Sensor alignment is aided by the small yet highly visible PinPoint LED light spot. The sensor is insensitive to dust and dirt on the front lens or reflector.

The G10 sensors are available with a 10 to 30 V DC and PNP-switching transistor output or an NPN-switching transistor output for applications such as logistics automation and machine building. The sensors have a universal voltage version featuring 24 to 240 V AC/V DC, which is available with a relay output suitable for use in automatic car parks and elevators, as well as door and gate installations.

Using Sick’s optional Q-Lock fastening system, the sensor can be mounted on round bars in 10 to 15 seconds. Alternatively, the Q-Lock system can be fastened to a metal sheet up to 3 mm in thickness.

The sensors include through-beam photoelectric sensors with a sensing range up to 40 m, photoelectric retro-reflective sensors with sensing ranges up to 16 m, energetic photoelectric sensors with a sensing range of 1400 mm as well as photoelectric proximity sensors with background suppression that reliably detect bright objects at a range of 950 mm and jet-black surfaces at a range of 520 mm.

In operation, the sensors are immune to ambient light and reliably detect even depolarising objects.
