On fast-moving conveyor systems, the SICK GRTE18S-P1342 ensures every product is accurately counted and verified. Its high-speed 500 Hz switching frequency and quick <1 ms response time allow it to track small items even at high throughput. The PinPoint LED provides a crisp, visible light spot that improves alignment and reduces counting errors across shiny or irregular surfaces. Its M18 metal housing withstands vibration, while the IP67 rating ensures stability in dusty or humid packaging lines.
In labeling machines, this sensor verifies the presence and correct placement of adhesive or transparent labels on bottles, boxes, or containers. The adjustable 270° potentiometer allows sensitivity tuning for materials with varying transparency or surface texture. Its non-contact optical detection prevents label damage, and the visible red beam simplifies setup. Resistant to adhesive residues and moisture, the GRTE18S-P1342 maintains consistent readings and reduces missed detections in demanding packaging environments.
In robotic systems, the GRTE18S-P1342 assists in detecting small mechanical parts before or after a robotic arm operation. The narrow, focused red beam allows precise detection even in confined or reflective areas. The nickel-plated brass housing resists impact and vibration from robotic movement. Thanks to its short reaction time, the sensor synchronizes perfectly with robot cycles, helping ensure each component is placed or removed correctly without interrupting workflow efficiency.
Within automotive assembly lines, this sensor identifies and confirms the correct placement of parts such as clips, brackets, or panels. Its energetic reflection detection can handle a wide range of surface finishes—from glossy paint to textured metal—without signal distortion. Compact and easy to mount, the sensor fits into tight assembly fixtures. Its strong immunity to electrical interference ensures reliable output in environments where heavy machinery and welding equipment are operating nearby.
