Description
The SICK GTE6-P4231 is a versatile miniature energetic photoelectric proximity sensor engineered for industrial automation tasks requiring reliable and accurate object detection over longer distances. Operating in the 10–30 V DC supply range, this sensor uses a visible red PinPoint LED (650 nm) to emit a focused light spot, helping to detect objects with precise positioning even on challenging surfaces. It offers a maximum sensing range of up to 900 mm and a typical effective range around 760 mm, making it suitable for applications like conveyor monitoring, object presence checks, and automated material handling.
Featuring a PNP switching output with selectable light/dark switching modes, the GTE6-P4231 can be adapted to various detection logic requirements and integrated easily with PLCs or control systems. Its fast response time of about 1.25 ms and a switching frequency up to 500 Hz support dynamic processes and rapid object detection. Housed in a rectangular ABS/PC plastic body with an M8 4-pin connector and IP67 rating, the sensor withstands dust and moisture common in factory environments. The compact design also facilitates installation in constrained spaces.
