1. Conveyor Belt Package Detection
In distribution or warehouse systems, products of varying sizes move quickly along conveyors. The SICK GRSE18-P1142 ensures accurate item counting and positioning by maintaining reliable detection up to 15 m. Its precise red LED beam allows easy alignment even when sensors are placed at long distances. The fast 500 µs response time minimizes missed detections on rapid lines, while the durable M18 metal housing ensures performance despite vibration, dust, and shifting ambient light conditions—keeping logistics operations consistent and efficient.
2. Packaging Line Position Verification
During automated packaging, correct placement of boxes, pouches, or trays is critical for smooth production. The GRSE18-P1142’s through-beam detection instantly identifies when items are out of position, ensuring packaging and sealing equipment remain synchronized. The adjustable sensitivity and complementary PNP output support quick switching between light or dark operation modes. Its visible beam aids maintenance teams in alignment, reducing machine downtime. The result is greater precision and less waste in packaging cycles.
3. High-Speed Sorting System Control
Sorting conveyors handle countless products with different colors and surfaces. The GRSE18-P1142’s high switching frequency of 1 kHz allows it to recognize even the smallest gaps between fast-moving items. Its stable optical beam reduces false triggers from glossy or irregular objects. The IP67 housing endures vibrations and airborne particles common in sorting environments. By ensuring accurate signal timing, it helps sorting mechanisms activate at the exact moment, increasing productivity and throughput in automated sorting facilities.
4. Material Flow Monitoring in Harsh Conditions
Industrial operations such as recycling, chemical, or bulk material handling often expose sensors to moisture, dust, and temperature variations. The GRSE18-P1142 withstands these challenges with its nickel-plated brass housing and sealed IP67 enclosure. Its strong red light beam penetrates slightly dirty or misty air, maintaining dependable detection. This ensures continuous flow monitoring of moving materials, preventing blockages and ensuring stable process control where reliability and durability are critical.
