The GL10-N1112 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor from SICK’s G10 series. It utilizes advanced dual lens technology to ensure stable detection performance from very short distances up to 15 m. With NPN output, 10–30 V DC supply, and IP67 rating, this sensor is an excellent choice for demanding industrial applications in Vietnam requiring high reliability and long service life.
Technical Overview of GL10-N1112 SICK Photoelectric Sensor
The GL10-N1112 belongs to SICK’s G10 compact sensor family and operates on the photoelectric retro-reflective principle. It emits a 625 nm red light beam from a PinPoint LED and receives the reflected signal from a dedicated reflector. When an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor output changes state with a fast response time of ≤ 500 µs.
A key feature of the GL10-N1112 is its dual lens system, which maintains stable detection performance even at a minimum reflector distance of 0.08 m — effectively eliminating the blind zone commonly found in conventional retro-reflective sensors. Combined with a very small light spot (Ø 58 mm at 5 m), it is particularly suitable for detecting small objects or fine details on high-speed production lines.
Wide Range of Applications: conveyor systems, automated sorting, automatic doors/gates, material handling, and warehouse logistics — any application requiring reliable long-range object detection with cost-effective installation.
