SICK GTB6-P1212 1052444 G6 Miniature Photoelectric Sensor

SICK GTB6-P1212 is a miniature photoelectric proximity sensor from the G6 series, featuring reliable background suppression for detection independent of object colour and background. Housed in a 12 mm compact plastic (ABS/PC) body, it delivers a 250 mm maximum sensing range and a 1,000 Hz switching frequency, making it suitable for high‑speed automation tasks in material handling, packaging, and assembly.

Applications:

• Conveyor object presence and positioning for sorting and counting
