SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor, 1 → 18 mm, PNP, IP67

Overview

The G2 Flat is a miniature photoelectric sensor for use in particularly compact plants and robotics systems. With powerful background suppression (BGS), the sensor can be relied upon to detect objects at distances starting from just 8 mm – virtually regardless of object size and surface. This makes it an excellent solution for all kinds of tasks wherever space is at a premium and opens up entirely new possibilities for miniaturization in industrial environments.

Sensor integration and handling could not be easier. As one of the smallest photoelectric sensor product families from SICK, the G2 Flat is the smart application solution in a miniature format for industrial automation.

At a glance

• Ultra-thin housing for the tightest of installation spaces
• BGS: Object detection starting from just 8 mm
• Detection of objects from 0.1 mm in size
• Reliable detection of jet-black, specular, transparent, and shiny objects
• Pinpoint LED
• VISTAL® housing, steel mounting plates
• Can be adjusted individually to OEM requirements

Your Benefit

• The ultra-thin G2 Flat sensors can be integrated into miniature plants and very tight installation spaces
• Reliable detection: Detect objects with excellent and high-performance background suppression starting from just 8 mm
• Even the smallest of objects can be detected without problems
• Versatility of use: The G2 Flat can be relied upon to detect jet-black, specular, transparent, and shiny objects
• Easy installation and maintenance – not least thanks to easy differentiation between sender and receiver
• Ultra-reliable sensor design with VISTAL® housing and steel mounting plates
