SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor Barrel Sensor 20 mm to 150 mm PNP Output IP67 GRTB18S-P2417

SICK GRTB18S-P2417 Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a highly reliable barrel-style sensor designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise object detection with background suppression. This sensor operates within a voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and features a fast response time of 0.5 ms, enhancing cycle times and detection accuracy in automated processes.

The sensor employs a visible red LED light source and utilizes advanced background suppression technology, allowing effective sensing of objects within the 20 mm to 150 mm detection range even against complex or variable background environments. Its rugged ABS housing and IP67 ingress protection rating ensure dependable operation under dusty and washdown conditions typical of manufacturing and conveyor systems.

Equipped with a threaded cylindrical form factor and a 4-pin male M12 connector, the GRTB18S-P2417 is straightforward to install and integrate with machine control systems, especially those accepting PNP output signals. The device supports a maximum output current of 100 mA, enabling direct switching of other industrial devices.

A 270° potentiometer allows precise adjustment of the sensing threshold to accommodate different target reflectivities and requirements. Dual indicator LEDs provide users with clear status information: a green LED for power and a yellow LED to indicate object detection.

Additional protective features include reverse-polarity and short-circuit prevention, safeguarding the sensor and connected control inputs against electrical faults. Operating conditions range from −25°C to +55°C, suitable for most industrial environments, with storage temperature extending from −40°C to +70°C.

Fast 0.5 ms response time for accurate detection. Wide voltage range from 10 V DC to 30 V DC. PNP complementary output compatible with PLCs. IP67 rated housing ensures robustness in harsh environments. 270° potentiometer for precise sensing range tuning.

Threaded ABS barrel housing for durable installation. 4-pin M12 connector standard for easy wiring. Dual LEDs indicate power and target presence. Built-in protections against polarity reversal and short circuits. Ideal for conveyor part detection and pick-and-place applications.

This sensor is ideal for industrial automation sectors including manufacturing, material handling, packaging, and machine control tasks. It is especially well-suited for integration into conveyor systems and inspection stations requiring reliable background suppression and short-to-medium range sensing.
