The Applications
1. Automated Packaging Line – Box Detection and Sorting
In modern packaging lines, accurate box detection ensures each package reaches the correct stage of processing. The SICK GRTE18S-P2467 is positioned beside the conveyor to sense box presence using its visible red LED beam. When an object passes through, it instantly signals the control unit for labeling, sealing, or sorting. Its high response speed and strong immunity to ambient light maintain consistent performance even at rapid conveyor speeds, preventing missed detections or false triggers in high-throughput systems.
2. Bottle Fill-Level Monitoring in Beverage Plants
The GRTE18S-P2467 is ideal for verifying fill levels in transparent or colored bottles during beverage production. Installed at a calibrated height, it detects the liquid surface through reflected light intensity. The adjustable potentiometer allows fine tuning for different bottle materials and colors. With its IP67-rated housing, the sensor operates reliably in wet and humid conditions, providing real-time feedback that ensures accurate filling and reduces product waste.
3. Component Verification in PCB Assembly
During electronic board assembly, precision is crucial. The GRTE18S-P2467 helps detect the presence or absence of small components such as chips or resistors before soldering. Its focused red light beam identifies even low-profile or reflective parts on the board. By confirming component placement early in the process, it prevents production errors and improves yield rates. The compact M18 cylindrical body makes it easy to integrate into automated inspection stations without occupying extra space.
4. Robotic Gripper Feedback in Automated Handling Systems
In robotic pick-and-place systems, the GRTE18S-P2467 verifies whether the gripper has successfully picked up an object. When the sensor detects the target inside the gripper’s range, it sends a confirmation signal to the robot controller. Its fast 1,000 µs response time supports dynamic, repetitive operations where milliseconds matter. The compact and durable design fits within confined robotic arms, ensuring stable and continuous performance even under vibration or high-cycle operations.
