GTB10-N1411S02 is a photoelectric proximity sensor from SICK’s G10 series, a specialized variant engineered for reliable detection of foil-wrapped objects (shrink-wrapped products). It features a maximum detection range of 950 mm, NPN output, and a fixed light switching mode. This is the go-to solution for shrink-wrap packaging lines in the food, beverage, and logistics industries.
Overview of the SICK GTB10-N1411S02
The GTB10-N1411S02 is a purpose-built variant within SICK AG’s (Germany) G10 photoelectric sensor family, developed to address a common but technically challenging requirement: reliable detection of objects wrapped in shrink film or foil – a material with semi-transparent surfaces and variable reflectivity.
Unlike standard GTB10 models that allow both light and dark switching modes, the GTB10-N1411S02 is fixed in light switching mode – fully optimized for foil-wrapped object detection. Combined with background suppression, the sensor rejects false signals from conveyor belts or backgrounds behind the target object.

Industrial Applications of the SICK GTB10-N1411S02
The GTB10-N1411S02 was developed specifically for foil-wrapped object detection—one of the most challenging requirements in industrial photoelectric sensing:
Shrink-Wrap Packaging Lines:
Detects bottles, boxes, and other products wrapped in PVC/PE shrink film on conveyor belts. The variable reflectivity of transparent foil is reliably handled by the fixed light switching mode and background suppression combination.
Food and Beverage Industry:
Detects multipacks of beer, water bottles, or soft drinks wrapped in shrink film on automated lines. IP67 ensures reliable operation through regular washdowns in food-grade environments.
Logistics and Palletizing:
Verifies presence of shrink-wrapped products before boxing or palletizing. The 500 Hz switching frequency is well-suited for medium-speed logistics applications.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing:
Detects blister packs and medicine boxes wrapped in foil. Light switching mode delivers consistent output with low-reflectivity, semi-transparent film materials.
Printing and Packaging Industry:
End-of-line inspection for shrink-wrapped products, ensuring no unwrapped items pass through quality control checkpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions – SICK GTB10-N1411S02
Q1: What is the price of the SICK GTB10-N1411S02?
A: Pricing varies by order quantity. Contact AUMI at +84 917 991 589 for the best quote and free technical advice.
Q2: Can the GTB10-N1411S02 detect transparent shrink film?
A: Yes. This is the model’s core feature. The GTB10-N1411S02 is specifically designed for foil-wrapped objects, including semi-transparent shrink film, with significantly higher reliability than standard photoelectric sensors.
Q3: Why does the GTB10-N1411S02 only have light switching and not dark switching?
A: Light switching is optimized for foil-wrapped object detection. When the object passes through, the sensor receives reflected light and activates the output. This mode delivers stable, low-noise performance with transparent film materials.
