SICK GRTE18S-P2347 M18 photoelectric proximity sensor with PinPoint LED for precise, stable object detection in industrial automation environments.
The SICK GRTE18S-P2347 photoelectric proximity sensor with PinPoint LED is a compact M18 sensor designed for accurate, non-contact object detection in industrial automation. It uses an energetic photoelectric operating principle with a clearly visible red PinPoint LED to detect objects reliably over short to medium distances. This model addresses common challenges such as unstable detection on different materials, tight installation spaces, and the need for precise optical alignment. Its robust construction and focused light emission make it suitable for continuous operation in production environments where reliability and repeatability are essential.
The SICK GRTE18S-P2347 provides stable and repeatable detection by combining a concentrated light spot with adjustable sensitivity, allowing fine tuning directly on the sensor. The fast switching response supports dynamic processes such as high-speed conveyors and automated handling systems. Its standard M18 threaded housing simplifies mechanical integration, while the sealed design protects the sensor from dust, moisture, and routine cleaning. In real-world use, this sensor helps reduce false detections, improves process consistency, and lowers maintenance effort across applications such as packaging lines, assembly stations, and material flow control systems.
The SICK GRTE18S-P2347 is chosen when precision, stability, and installation simplicity are critical. Its PinPoint LED technology delivers a sharply focused light spot, enabling accurate detection even on small or low-contrast objects. The compact M18 housing fits easily into space-constrained machines, while adjustable sensitivity allows fine control during commissioning. Designed for long-term industrial use, this sensor offers consistent performance, fast response, and reliable operation across a wide range of automation tasks.
The SICK GRTE18S-P2347 solves common detection issues such as inconsistent sensing caused by varying surface colors, reflections, or unstable ambient conditions. Traditional sensors may struggle with false switching or alignment sensitivity, especially in compact machinery. This model provides stable object recognition through controlled light emission and precise tuning, ensuring dependable detection in fast-moving processes. As a result, it reduces downtime, minimizes adjustment effort, and improves overall process reliability in automated production and handling systems.

In automated conveyor systems, accurate object detection is essential to coordinate sorting, counting, and downstream actions. This sensor is effective in such environments because its fast reaction time supports rapid material flow without signal delays. The focused PinPoint LED enables consistent detection of small or closely spaced items, even when products vary in color or surface finish. Adjustable sensitivity allows operators to fine-tune performance during commissioning, reducing false detections. Its compact M18 housing fits neatly into narrow conveyor frames, while the sealed construction ensures stable operation despite dust, vibration, and routine industrial cleaning.
Automated assembly lines depend on reliable confirmation that each component is correctly positioned before the next operation begins. This sensor provides dependable presence detection within a controlled distance, helping prevent assembly errors. The narrow light spot minimizes interference from nearby machine parts, making it suitable for dense mechanical layouts. Sensitivity adjustment supports consistent detection of metal, plastic, or coated components with varying reflectivity. Fast switching supports short machine cycles, while the clear status indicators simplify setup and fault diagnosis, reducing commissioning time and maintenance effort.
Packaging machinery requires stable sensing to verify the presence of cartons, trays, or products before sealing or labeling. This sensor handles these tasks reliably by detecting objects without the need for reflectors, simplifying machine design. Its energetic sensing principle adapts well to different packaging materials, including glossy or matte surfaces. The robust enclosure protects the sensor from dust and moisture commonly found in packaging environments. Accurate detection helps avoid misfeeds, reduces rejected packages, and maintains consistent throughput in high-volume production settings.
In compact material handling systems such as transfer units or automated shuttles, limited installation space can make sensor placement challenging. This sensor’s slim M18 form factor allows installation close to moving elements without sacrificing detection reliability. Adjustable sensing range supports precise position feedback, ensuring loads stop at the correct transfer points. The fast response contributes to smooth system coordination, while the sealed design supports long-term use in environments exposed to dust, oil mist, or temperature variations.
