Overview Cylindrical photoelectric sensors from the GR18 family are characterized by their universal application possibilities, reliable object detection and a very good price-performance ratio. The sensors have a cylindrical M18 housing available either in plastic or metal. The cylindrical photoelectric sensors are also available in different housing shapes and therefore offer a high level flexibility for mounting and application options. The PinPoint LED and intelligent electronics ensure high availability of the product family. It can be used in many applications. For instance, the rugged variant in the stainless steel housing can also be used in applications where it comes into contact with chemicals and cleaning agents.
