Product Description

SICK GRTE18S-P2319 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor with PinPoint LED

The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 photoelectric proximity sensor is a compact M18 solution designed for accurate, short-range object detection in industrial automation. It solves common detection issues such as inconsistent sensing on small parts, reflective surfaces, or limited installation space. Using energetic sensing and a focused PinPoint LED, the sensor delivers reliable performance with clear visual alignment. Its rugged construction and stable switching behavior make it well suited for continuous operation in production lines, packaging machines, and material handling systems where precision and durability are essential.

The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 is engineered to provide dependable detection in real manufacturing environments. Its narrow, visible red light spot improves target recognition and reduces false switching caused by background interference. The adjustable sensitivity allows fine tuning directly on the sensor, enabling faster commissioning and adaptation to changing products. With fast response speed and consistent output, it supports high-throughput applications without signal delay. The sealed housing protects against dust, moisture, and vibration, helping reduce downtime and maintenance while maintaining stable long-term performance.

Why SICK GRTE18S-P2319?

The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 is chosen when precision, stability, and compact design matter most. It combines a focused PinPoint LED with energetic sensing to deliver consistent detection even on small, fast-moving, or low-contrast objects. Its M18 housing fits easily into tight mechanical spaces, while the adjustable sensitivity allows quick fine-tuning without external tools. Designed for continuous industrial operation, it offers reliable performance, reduced setup time, and long-term durability, making it an excellent choice for automation systems that demand accuracy without complexity.

What Problem Does It Solve?

The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 addresses common challenges such as unreliable detection caused by reflective surfaces, varying object colors, or limited installation space. Many sensors struggle with false triggers or unstable signals in real production environments. This model solves those issues by using a concentrated light spot and stable switching behavior, ensuring accurate object recognition at short distances. It also reduces commissioning effort and maintenance interruptions, helping manufacturers maintain smooth, high-speed processes with fewer adjustments and less downtime.

The Applications of the SICK GRTE18S-P2319

1. Reliable Product Presence Detection on Fast Packaging Lines

In high-speed packaging operations, products must be detected accurately before sealing, labeling, or coding. The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 is often installed at close range to confirm that each item passes the correct point on the conveyor. Its rapid response supports fast-moving products without signal delay. The concentrated PinPoint light helps avoid false detection caused by shiny conveyor belts or metal frames. Adjustable sensitivity allows stable operation across different packaging materials, reducing missed items, preventing empty packages, and maintaining consistent production flow.

2. Precision Component Verification in Automated Assembly

Automated assembly machines require confirmation that small components are present before robotic actions occur. The GRTE18S-P2319 is well suited for detecting screws, plastic clips, electronic housings, or molded parts. Its narrow light spot focuses only on the target area, minimizing interference from nearby tooling. The compact M18 housing fits easily into tight fixtures. By ensuring correct part placement before pick-and-place or fastening steps, the sensor helps prevent assembly errors, tool collisions, and costly rework.

3. Early Jam Detection in Conveyor and Material Handling Systems

Material handling systems depend on smooth and uninterrupted product flow. The SICK GRTE18S-P2319 can be positioned along conveyor paths to monitor short-range movement and identify stalled or misaligned items. When products stop or overlap unexpectedly, the sensor reacts immediately, sending a signal to the control system. Its sealed construction allows reliable operation in dusty or vibrating environments. This application enables early intervention, reducing mechanical stress, preventing motor overload, and minimizing unplanned downtime.

4. Consistent Triggering in Automated Inspection Stations

Inspection and verification stations often process parts with different colors, textures, or surface finishes. The GRTE18S-P2319 provides stable detection for mixed materials by using controlled light emission and adjustable sensitivity. It is commonly used to trigger inspection equipment before marking, sorting, or quality checks. Consistent signal timing improves synchronization with cameras or actuators, reducing false rejects. This leads to more reliable inspection results, improved process control, and higher overall product quality.
