The Applications

1. Conveyor Package Detection in Smart Warehouses

In modern logistics centers, products of different shapes and surface finishes move rapidly on conveyors. The SICK GRTE18-P1167 ensures every item is detected accurately using its energetic red-light sensing principle. Its 500 Hz switching frequency captures fast-moving objects without delay, while the IP67 enclosure protects against dust and debris. The compact M18 housing allows installation in tight spaces, maintaining smooth flow and reducing sorting errors in automated warehouses.

2. Position Monitoring in Robotic Assembly Lines

Automated assembly cells rely on precise feedback from sensors to synchronize robotic movements. The GRTE18-P1167 delivers high accuracy and a response time under 1 ms, enabling real-time position feedback for mechanical parts or actuator strokes. Its robust ABS construction and temperature tolerance from –25 °C to +55 °C ensure consistent performance in fast-cycle operations, preventing misalignment and ensuring repeatable positioning in production processes.

3. Metal Surface Detection in Automotive Welding Cells

Detecting shiny or curved metallic parts can be challenging due to reflections and background interference. The GRTE18-P1167, with its visible red LED and precise adjustment potentiometer, maintains stable detection of reflective components before welding or pressing. The vibration-resistant M18 design keeps calibration stable even under heavy machine movement, ensuring uninterrupted quality control in metal processing and automotive manufacturing.

4. Safety Control in Automated Gate and Conveyor Systems

In logistics or material handling setups, gates and conveyors must coordinate seamlessly to prevent collisions. The GRTE18-P1167 monitors the presence or absence of pallets or trolleys using its PNP complementary output for accurate signal transmission to control units. Its bright LED indicators allow instant status checking during maintenance, and its reliable detection up to 800 mm ensures safe, uninterrupted operation in dynamic transport systems.
