SICK G6 series: universal optical sensors for detecting all types of objects

April 13, 2021

SICK G6 series optical sensors in a miniature housing with excellent performance-price ratio. The G6 product family offers an extensive portfolio of optical sensors for object detection that will be suitable for a variety of applications in all areas of automation.

At a glance:

Pin-Point LED technology - precise, highly visible light spot for easy sensor alignment, even under difficult application conditions
Built-in metal inserts with M3 thread - for quick and easy mounting of the sensor
User-friendly control potentiometers - easy adjustment of sensor`s operating range and output
Large and bright indicator LEDs - easy operation, clearly visible from any side
Immunity to environmental disturbances - influence of ambient light (sunlight, room lighting, etc.), influence of the electromagnetic field, influence of field operation of other sensors.
SICK ASIC technology - the latest generation of electronics provides excellent sensor optical performance
