SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor Barrel Sensor 60 mm to 6 m NPN IP67 GRL18S-N2431V

SICK GRL18S-N2431V is a retroreflective photoelectric sensor featuring a barrel-type housing with an M18 thread, providing a wide detection range of 60 mm to 6 meters. It operates with an NPN output and has an IP67 rating for dust-tight and water protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

This sensor is built with a durable stainless steel 1.4404 / 316L housing which offers high mechanical robustness and resistance against acidic and alkaline cleaning agents. Its 3 mm flat front screen is chemically resistant, thus reducing maintenance needs and increasing operational longevity.

The sensor’s 4-pin M12 connector variant allows for simple and space-saving mounting and integration in automation systems. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -25°C to 55°C, with a maximum current of 30 mA and maximum DC voltage of 30 V DC. The LED light source ensures reliable object detection with a fast response time of 0.5 milliseconds.

Applications include consumer goods manufacturing, food and beverage industries (such as dairies, breweries, slaughterhouses, and packaging lines), pharmaceutical production, mechanical construction including machine tools and timber industry, automotive manufacturing, and emerging fields like car washes, building automation, and outdoor gating systems.

The GRL18S-N2431V sensor offers excellent resistance to dirt, humidity, and extreme temperatures, ensuring low maintenance and continuous operation even under challenging conditions. It is CE certified and cULus listed, ensuring quality and compliance with international standards.

This product is made in Malaysia and is part of the GR18 Inox series, designed for precision background suppression and reliable detection of depolarizing objects. Innovative stainless steel accessories facilitate quick and cost-effective installation.

The sensor features robust stainless steel M18 threaded housing for high mechanical ruggedness. Its chemically resistant 3 mm flat front screen increases service life and reduces maintenance. Designed for reliable object detection in harsh industrial conditions with reduced false detections.
