SICK GRSE18S-N1147 Long-Range Through-Beam Sensor

SICK GR18 GRSE18S-N1147 Through-Beam Sensor – High-Range Detection with Reliable Performance

The SICK GR18 GRSE18S-N1147 through-beam photoelectric sensor is engineered for applications that demand long-distance, stable object detection. Built in a compact M18 cylindrical housing, it uses a bright red PinPoint LED to project a clean, easily aligned beam, ensuring consistent performance even across extended distances. The sensor supports up to a 10-meter operating range with a maximum reach of 15 meters, making it ideal for conveyor lines, automated handling systems, and large machinery zones. Its adjustable sensitivity knob allows quick fine-tuning during installation, while the rugged IP67 housing maintains dependable operation in dusty or humid industrial environments.

The GRSE18S-N1147 is designed to deliver fast, accurate detection in dynamic production settings. Its rapid switching capability and short response time allow it to reliably detect objects on high-speed processes without missed triggers. The complementary NPN outputs provide flexible wiring options for integration with a wide range of control systems. Clear LED indicators make it easy for technicians to confirm power and signal status at a glance, reducing troubleshooting time. Built from durable ABS and PMMA materials, the sensor withstands temperature swings, mechanical stress, and frequent washdowns, helping factories maintain continuous operation with lower maintenance needs.

Why SICK GRSE18S-N1147?

The SICK GRSE18S-N1147 is built for situations where you simply cannot afford detection errors. Its long-range through-beam design, bright alignment-friendly light, and rugged IP67 housing work together to deliver stable performance in tough environments. It turns complex setups into predictable, reliable detection systems that keep production flowing smoothly.

What Problem Does It Solve?

The GRSE18S-N1147 eliminates the frustration of inconsistent detection over long distances, especially in dusty, high-speed, or vibration-heavy applications. It solves the challenges of misalignment, unreliable triggering, and signal drops by providing a powerful, clearly defined beam that remains accurate even across wide gaps—ensuring machines react exactly when they should.

The Applications for the GRSE18S-N1147

1. Long-Distance Object Verification on Conveyor Lines

Large conveyor systems often require reliable detection across extended gaps where reflective sensors struggle. The GRSE18S-N1147 excels in this environment because its focused through-beam design maintains stability even when dust, vibration, or changing light conditions are present. The bright red LED beam makes alignment straightforward during installation, reducing downtime when equipment is reconfigured. Its fast switching performance ensures each item on the line is registered accurately, preventing count errors during batching or sorting. Since the sensor is protected by an IP67 housing, it continues operating consistently despite exposure to powder, moisture, or cleaning routines commonly found in material-handling facilities.

2. Pallet Position Control in Automated Warehousing

Automated warehouse systems depend on sensors that can track pallet movement through long channels and loading zones. The GRSE18S-N1147 provides dependable detection even when pallet surfaces vary in color, texture, or reflectivity. Its long operating range allows it to monitor wide pallet lanes or deep storage tunnels without losing signal strength. The adjustable sensitivity helps technicians set the correct threshold for different pallet materials, reducing misreads. Fast response ensures that conveyors and automated shuttles receive immediate confirmation, helping maintain smooth pallet flow. Its durable ABS and PMMA construction withstands physical impacts and fluctuating temperatures commonly experienced in warehouse environments.

3. High-Speed Packaging Line Triggering

Packaging machines work at high speed and require sensors that can react instantly to product movement. The GRSE18S-N1147 fulfills this need with its rapid response time and high switching frequency, allowing it to detect small cartons, film-wrapped items, or irregularly shaped products without delay. The strong through-beam design avoids false triggers caused by glossy or transparent packaging materials, which often confuse reflective sensors. Its long-range capability allows mounting the sensor at a safe distance from moving components, reducing wear and accidental damage. With IP67 sealing, the sensor maintains performance even when exposed to moisture, heat, or debris from sealing and cutting processes.

4. Precision Detection in Robotic Sorting and Assembly Cells

Robotic systems rely on precise timing to position components correctly. The GRSE18S-N1147 can act as a stable trigger point, confirming part entry or exit within the robot’s working area. Its long beam distance enables flexible mounting positions that avoid interfering with robotic arms or grippers. The clearly defined LED beam simplifies alignment during setup and ensures consistent detection despite slight variations in part shape or orientation. The sensor’s fast response allows robots to execute rapid pick-and-place actions without hesitation. Built with robust materials and vibration-resistant design, it delivers dependable performance in automation cells where continuous motion is the norm.
