The SICK GR18 Series Photoelectric Sensor is a cylindrical design notable for their adaptability to various systems and industry uses. The standardized M18 housing comes in plastic or metal, with additional enclosure styles to suit various installation sites. For applications with corrosive chemicals and cleaning agents, the GR18 offers a stainless steel variant with an Inox finish, offering excellent protection in strict hygienic applications.

The PinPoint LED offers consistent, reliable results, and thanks to the intelligent signal evaluation, these sensors does not respond to ambient light, dirt, moisture, or electromagnetic fields. The sensing distance of a GR18 Series can readily be adjusted via a standard Phillips-head screwdriver.
