The Applications
1. High-Speed Bottle Counting on Beverage Lines
In bottling plants, containers move rapidly on conveyors and must be accurately counted for packaging or filling operations. The SICK GRSE18-P2447 is positioned across the line to detect each bottle passing through its light beam. Its 1 kHz switching frequency ensures even fast-moving bottles are detected without missed counts. The visible red LED simplifies precise alignment during setup, while the IP67 housing protects against splashes, condensation, and dust often found in beverage production environments.
2. Sheet Metal Alignment in Press Machines
Metal stamping systems rely on precise positioning of sheet edges to maintain quality and safety. The GRSE18-P2447 detects when the leading edge of a metal sheet reaches the exact feed point. Its fast response time (<500 µs) triggers immediate system feedback for press activation or positioning control. Because it operates on a through-beam principle, it remains unaffected by surface shine or reflectivity, providing consistent accuracy even with polished or oily metal surfaces.
3. Carton Presence Detection in Packaging Lines
During box forming and sealing, missing cartons can disrupt the packaging flow or cause sealing errors. The SICK GRSE18-P2447 identifies whether a carton is present before sealing or labeling. Its adjustable sensitivity accommodates various box materials and colors, from glossy to matte surfaces. The compact M18 housing allows integration in tight conveyor setups, and its robust ABS design ensures reliability despite exposure to dust or adhesive particles in packaging environments.
4. Entry Monitoring in Robotic Work Cells
In automated production cells, maintaining safe zones for human operators is critical. The GRSE18-P2447 can act as a simple optical barrier that halts robotic movement if the beam path is interrupted. Its high-speed detection ensures an immediate stop command, reducing safety risks. The visible red light aids quick visual alignment during maintenance checks, while vibration-resistant construction ensures long-term stability in dynamic robotic operations.
