Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor GSE6-E4411V SICK 15m NPN IP69K V4A Stainless Steel
Overview:
The GSE6-E4411V from SICK is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from the G6 Inox series with a maximum sensing range of 15 m and complementary NPN output.
Equipped with PinPoint red LED technology, V4A (316L) stainless steel housing, IP67/IP69K protection rating and ECOLAB certification, it is the ideal solution for demanding hygienic environments in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and automated packaging industries. The M8 4-pin connector provides excellent flexibility for using specialized cables.
Product Overview of GSE6-E4411V Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor
The GSE6-E4411V operates on the through-beam principle, with the emitter and receiver mounted opposite each other to create a stable detection area over long distances up to 15 m. The sensor utilizes PinPoint red LED technology at 650 nm, producing a highly focused light spot (Ø 310 mm at 10 m), enabling precise detection of small objects and high-speed applications.
Its robust V4A (316L) stainless steel housing combined with IP67/IP69K protection and ECOLAB certification ensures excellent resistance to high-pressure washdown and aggressive cleaning chemicals. The M8 4-pin connector offers maximum flexibility for chemical-resistant, drag-chain, or robot cables. This makes the GSE6-E4411V the optimal choice for applications requiring high reliability and easy maintenance.
