In modern packaging and logistics lines, the GRSE18-N1142 is often installed on conveyor systems to count items moving at high speed. Its precise through-beam detection minimizes false readings caused by varying surface colors or shapes. The fast 500 µs response ensures accurate tracking even during continuous operation. Technicians benefit from the visible LED beam for quick alignment, reducing setup time and maintenance interruptions. This helps maintain production efficiency, accurate product counts, and smooth process control.
During electronic assembly, each tiny component must be present before automated operations like soldering or gluing proceed. The GRSE18-N1142 reliably identifies small or reflective components without being affected by glare or ambient light. Its fine light beam detects even miniature objects with consistency. By verifying each part’s presence, manufacturers prevent costly errors, reduce rework, and ensure that every assembly step begins with complete and correctly positioned parts.
In industrial areas where machines are enclosed by safety doors, this sensor detects whether an operator or object is in the gate area. The GRSE18-N1142’s narrow, stable beam ensures accurate detection and prevents accidental closing. Its robust IP67-rated housing withstands dust, oil, and vibration, making it suitable for demanding work zones. The quick response ensures instant signal transmission, enhancing workplace safety while allowing smooth automation flow.
In systems that handle bulk materials like pellets, grains, or powders, the GRSE18-N1142 can monitor flow within bins or chutes. The sensor’s strong beam remains stable even in dusty or vibrating environments. When material interrupts the beam, it triggers precise level or flow detection. This prevents overfilling, blockages, or material shortages, helping keep automated processes consistent and reducing maintenance caused by false level readings.
