Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How much does the SICK G6 photoelectric sensor cost?
The price of G6 sensors depends on the operating principle (proximity, retro-reflective, through-beam), light source (LED or laser), and housing material (plastic or stainless steel). Please contact AUMI via hotline 0917 991 589 for the best quotation and expert model selection advice.
Q2: In which industries is the G6 sensor used?
The G6 photoelectric sensor is widely used in food & beverage (Inox IP69K), electronics & semiconductor (Laser version), logistics & airport baggage handling, automotive, and any industry requiring precise object detection.
Q3: Is the G6 SICK water-resistant?
Yes. Standard models achieve IP67 of IEC 60529 (protected against immersion in water up to 1 m for 30 minutes). Inox versions reach IP69K – resistant to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets (80 bar at 80°C), making them ideal for washdown applications in food processing plants.
Q4: What is the difference between G6 and G10 SICK?
The G6 is a miniature 1-inch housing sensor ideal for tight spaces with sensing ranges up to 6 m (retro-reflective). The G10 has a larger housing (20×50×39 mm), longer sensing ranges (up to 80 m through-beam), and features the Q-Lock fast-mounting system, making it suitable for logistics and long-distance applications.
