SICK GRTE18-P2447 photoelectric sensor delivers fast, accurate red-light object detection with wide sensing range, robust design, and reliable performance for automation.
The SICK GRTE18-P2447 is a compact M18 photoelectric proximity sensor designed to deliver dependable detection in automated systems. It uses a visible red PinPoint LED and an energetic sensing method to identify objects within a working range of 10 mm to 400 mm, with extended capability up to 550 mm under ideal conditions. Its cylindrical ABS housing, axial optical design, and simple potentiometer adjustment allow fast installation even in tight spaces. The sensor is built for consistent detection performance, making it well-suited for packaging lines, conveyor systems, and general machinery that depends on stable, repeatable sensing.
The GRTE18-P2447 is engineered for environments where fast reaction and high reliability are essential. Its sub-millisecond response time and 500 Hz switching capability enable accurate detection on rapid-moving equipment. The concentrated red LED produces a clearly defined light spot for improved precision on surfaces with varying reflectivity. Complementary PNP outputs provide flexibility for different control logic needs, while protective circuits guard against wiring mistakes and overload incidents. Built with an IP67 enclosure and a wide operating temperature range, the sensor withstands demanding industrial use. Overall, it helps maintain stable processes, reduce false detections, and support long-term system efficiency.
The GRTE18-P2447 stands out when you need a compact, fast, and precise photoelectric sensor that simply works without fuss. Its bright red PinPoint LED, quick response, and wide sensing range make it ideal for machines that demand reliable feedback. It’s built tough, easy to tune, and consistently accurate—giving your automation a stable “eye” that never gets tired.
This sensor eliminates unreliable detection on busy production lines where objects vary in color, shape, or reflectivity. It solves the challenge of missed targets, false triggers, and inconsistent readings by delivering sharp, stable sensing even in demanding conditions. When other sensors struggle, the GRTE18-P2447 keeps your workflow flowing smoothly and predictably.

In modern packaging lines, products travel rapidly along conveyors, and sensors must identify items instantly to avoid miscounts or stoppages. The GRTE18-P2447 is ideal here because its fast reaction time and high switching rate allow it to track fast-moving cartons, pouches, or bottles with ease. Its concentrated red LED forms a defined light spot that stays stable even on tricky surfaces like shiny film or lightly colored labels. Operators can fine-tune sensitivity on the fly, ensuring the sensor adapts to constant product variations. This combination of speed, clarity, and adjustability helps packaging machines run smoothly, reducing downtime and improving line efficiency.
Robotic assembly stations rely on accurate feedback to confirm that components are properly positioned before tools engage. The GRTE18-P2447 performs well in these setups because it detects objects consistently without needing reflectors or complex alignment. Its compact cylindrical body fits easily into crowded fixtures around robotic arms, while the straight optical axis allows simple positioning in tight mechanical layouts. The sensor’s clear output signaling supports reliable communication with PLC systems, helping ensure each assembly step occurs only when parts are in the correct place. This reduces mechanical errors, protects tooling, and keeps automated workstations operating with higher accuracy and fewer interruptions.
Material handling systems depend on predictable object spacing to prevent jams and ensure smooth movement across conveyors. The GRTE18-P2447 suits these environments because it handles a broad detection range, giving it flexibility with different package sizes. Dust, humidity, and vibration—common in warehouses and production floors—do not significantly affect its performance thanks to its sealed IP67-rated housing. The sensor’s quick response allows it to maintain precise detection even when items accelerate, slow down, or overlap slightly. By delivering stable presence signals to diverters and sorting mechanisms, it helps maintain a balanced flow and supports consistent throughput across an entire conveyor network.
Smaller automated machines often have limited mounting space, making sensor choice more demanding. The GRTE18-P2447’s slim M18 housing and plug-and-play connector simplify installation in confined jigs, cutting stations, or indexing units. Its steady detection of objects with varying reflectivity ensures that machine cycles occur only when components are correctly aligned. The built-in LEDs offer instant visual confirmation for maintenance staff, reducing troubleshooting time. Because its sensitivity can be adjusted quickly, it adapts well to fine mechanical setups that require precision. This makes it a dependable option for machine builders who need accurate feedback without adding complexity to their equipment design.
