Overview At a glance Low-cost cylindrical M18 sensor with extra short housing Five different housing styles Variety of plastic and metal housing styles, with straight or right angle optics Bright and highly visible PinPoint-LED Potentiometer for adjustment of switching threshold (depending on type) Special flush type, one-piece metal housing Highly visible signal indicator LED IP 67 rating Your Benefit Space-saving solution due to short housing Flexible mounting options due to versatile housing styles Easy installation and precise detection due to PinPoint LED Reduced maintenance costs due to high tightening torque of single piece flush metal housing Rugged and reliable with proven SICK technology Highly visible signal indicator LED saves maintenance and commissioning time The GR18S family of photoelectric sensors in cylindrical M18-housings has a special shortened design and offers an optimal price/performance ratio. It can be used universally in many applications thanks to five different housing designs. PinPoint LEDs, plastic and metal housing versions as well as status indicators that are easily visible from all angles round off the sensor family's features. One highlight is the fully-flush metal variant, which has been especially designed for use in harsh industrial environments found in handling and warehousing systems.
