GSE6-N1112 SICK Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor 15 m NPN IP67
Overview:
The GSE6-N1112 from SICK is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from the G6 series with a maximum sensing range of 15 m, NPN output, and PinPoint red LED at 650 nm. The sensor achieves IP67 protection and is supplied with a stainless steel mounting bracket BEF-W100-A (Part No. 1052453). It is ideal for conveyor systems, packaging machines, logistics, and harsh industrial environments requiring high reliability.
Product Overview of the GSE6-N1112 Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor
The GSE6-N1112 is a SICK through-beam photoelectric sensor that operates by positioning the emitter and receiver opposite each other. When an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor changes its output state to reliably detect the object.
Thanks to the through-beam principle, the device delivers highly reliable detection even in dusty, vibrating, or long-distance environments up to 15 m. The PinPoint red LED technology enables fast alignment and improves installation accuracy.
The GSE6-N1112 version comes with the stainless steel mounting bracket BEF-W100-A pre-included, making it suitable for conveyor systems, packaging machines, logistics, food processing, and automation lines that demand high mechanical durability and IP67 dust/water protection.
Key Features:
- Maximum sensing range: 15 m (recommended operating range: 10 m)
- Output: NPN, max. output current ≤ 100 mA (≤ 50 mA when UB > 24 V)
- Supply voltage: 10–30 VDC, current consumption 30 mA (no load)
