GSE6-E2411V SICK Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor 15m NPN IP69K V4A Stainless Steel
Overview:
The GSE6-E2411V is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from SICK’s G6 series. It features PinPoint red LED technology for a highly focused light beam, delivering a maximum sensing range of 15 m (standard operating range: 10 m). Operating on the through-beam principle, the emitter and receiver are positioned opposite each other. When an object interrupts the light beam, the NPN complementary output switches instantly (switching frequency: 1,000 Hz, response time: < 625 µs).
The high-grade V4A stainless steel housing combined with IP69K protection enables reliable use in harsh environments, including wet conditions, high-pressure chemical washdowns, and hygienic applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The 270° potentiometer allows flexible threshold adjustment.
Overview of the Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor GSE6-E2411V
The GSE6-E2411V operates on the through-beam (separate emitter/receiver) principle. The emitter and receiver are mounted facing each other to create a stable detection zone. When an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor changes the state of its NPN output to send a signal to a PLC or controller.
The V4A (316L) stainless steel design and IP69K rating allow the sensor to withstand high-pressure washdowns and mildly corrosive environments, making it ideal for food & beverage processing lines, pharmaceutical packaging, and high-speed conveyor systems.

Applications of the GSE6-E2411V in Industry
- Food & Beverage Processing: V4A stainless steel housing and IP69K rating support high-pressure washdowns and resistance to mild acids/alkalis (ECOLAB certified). The sensor reliably detects objects, bottles, and packages on conveyors in wet and chemically aggressive environments.
- Pharmaceutical & Medical: Strict hygiene requirements and ECOLAB certification allow seamless integration into packaging lines for medicines, vials, and blister packs without risk of corrosion or contamination.
- Logistics & Sorting: 15 m sensing range is suitable for pallet gates and long conveyors in warehouses; 1,000 Hz switching frequency ensures no missed detections at high speeds.
- Automotive & Metal Components: Large sensing distance and 270° potentiometer enable precise detection of shiny metal parts or difficult-to-detect materials.
- Paper & Packaging: Fast response time (< 625 µs) and 1,000 Hz frequency meet high-speed detection needs for sheets, labels, and cutting/rewinding lines.
