GL10-F4551 Retro-reflective Sensor 12m PNP IP67 | SICK

The Original New SICK GL10-F4551 (1071153) is a compact photoelectric retro-reflective sensor from the G10 series, specifically optimized for reliable detection of film-wrapped objects in industrial automation. Its dual-lens optical system with a PinPoint LED light source delivers a bright, precise light spot, ensuring high functional reliability even on reflective foil packaging. The sensor provides a PNP complementary output with selectable light/dark switching and features a polarising filter for stable performance on shiny surfaces. Housed in a slim 20 × 50 × 39 mm ABS/PMMA enclosure rated IP67, it integrates easily into space-constrained machinery.
