The SICK GTE10-P1211 photoelectric proximity sensor with PinPoint LED is a compact sensing device designed for accurate object detection in industrial automation systems. It addresses the challenge of detecting objects at varying distances and surface finishes by using energetic photoelectric sensing combined with a clearly visible, focused red LED. With a long sensing capability, fast signal response, and rugged housing, this model is well suited for applications where space is limited but detection reliability must remain high, such as packaging machinery, conveyors, and automated assembly equipment.
The SICK GTE10-P1211 delivers stable detection performance on both bright and dark targets, helping production systems avoid missed counts or false triggers. Its sharply defined light spot allows precise setup, even when sensors are installed close together or in compact machines. Adjustable sensitivity and selectable switching behavior make commissioning straightforward and flexible for different tasks. Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the sealed housing and wide temperature tolerance support long service life, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent operation in continuous-use environments.
Why SICK GTE10-P1211?
SICK GTE10-P1211 stands out because it combines compact design with industrial-grade sensing accuracy. Its focused PinPoint LED enables precise detection in tight machine layouts, while the adjustable sensing range adapts easily to different materials and distances. Built for continuous operation, it delivers consistent performance with minimal setup effort, making it a dependable choice for engineers who value stability, speed, and long-term reliability.
What problem does it solve?
The SICK GTE10-P1211 solves unreliable object detection caused by varying surface colors, reflections, and limited installation space. It ensures stable switching on fast-moving or low-reflectivity objects, reducing false signals and production interruptions. By maintaining accurate detection under changing conditions, it helps automation systems run smoothly, improves process control, and minimizes costly downtime in demanding industrial environments.

In packaging and distribution lines, the SICK GTE10-P1211 is commonly mounted along conveyors to verify carton presence, spacing, and flow before labeling, sealing, or diverting operations. Its fast response and high switching frequency allow it to reliably detect closely spaced cartons without signal overlap. The PinPoint LED produces a narrow, clearly defined light spot, which is especially useful when multiple conveyor lanes run side by side. Adjustable sensitivity helps maintain stable detection on brown cardboard or printed cartons with varying surface finishes. This results in accurate counts, fewer missed operations, and smoother downstream automation performance.
In intralogistics environments, totes often vary in color, texture, and reflectivity, creating challenges for standard photoelectric sensors. The SICK GTE10-P1211 addresses this by allowing precise sensitivity adjustment to accommodate both light and dark surfaces. Its compact housing fits easily into tight conveyor frames or transfer stations where installation space is limited. The focused PinPoint LED simplifies alignment during large-scale installations, reducing setup time. By delivering consistent object detection at merges, lifts, and transfer points, the sensor helps prevent false triggers, improves material flow control, and supports reliable sorter and conveyor operation.
Automated assembly stations often require confirmation that a component is correctly placed before the next process step begins. The SICK GTE10-P1211 can be positioned to detect a specific part feature, such as an edge or tab, within a controlled distance range. The sharply defined light spot minimizes interference from nearby tooling or fixture components. Sensitivity adjustment allows reliable detection even on small or low-reflectivity parts. With its fast response time, the sensor supports short cycle times and helps prevent empty-cycle operations, reducing scrap, avoiding tool damage, and improving overall assembly quality.
For production lines where basic position or height verification is required, the SICK GTE10-P1211 provides a simple and effective solution. It can be used to confirm that products are properly seated on conveyors or pallets before entering wrapping, packing, or robotic handling stations. Adjustable sensing distance makes it adaptable to different product sizes, while selectable switching logic supports stable operation on various surface colors. Its rugged housing withstands industrial environments with dust or vibration. By detecting misaligned or incorrectly positioned items early, the sensor helps prevent jams, reduce downtime, and protect downstream equipment.
