We supply German Sick GL6 photoelectric switches. Product model: GL6-P4112. Order number: 1051777. A photoelectric switch, short for photoelectric proximity switch, detects the presence or absence of an object by utilizing its ability to block or reflect light. This is achieved through a synchronous circuit.
The object is not limited to metal; any object that reflects light (or blocks light) can be detected. The photoelectric switch converts the input current into a light signal at the transmitter, and the receiver detects the target object based on the intensity or presence of the received light.
Photoelectric switches are commonly used in security systems, such as smoke detectors, and in industry, they are frequently used to count the movements of robotic arms.
The German Sick GL6-P4112 photoelectric switch is a reflective photoelectric sensor that can be installed on guided automated vehicles (FTFs) for position and protrusion monitoring, and can also be used for container loading and transfer tasks.
A diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor (IRT) between input rollers starts or stops the continued transport of containers.
As containers are transferred from the conveyor belt to the vehicle, SICK sensors detect the following:
- A photoelectric sensor positioned diagonally above the loading area checks if the loading area is empty.
- Photoelectric sensors located at the end of the roller conveyor and on the automated guided vehicle (FTF) check for gaps between the conveyor belt and the vehicle, and for the FTF to depart without damage.
- Photoelectric sensors located on the left and right sides of the FTF check for any protrusions in the goods placed on the FTF. The German SICK Sick photoelectric switch, GL6-P4112, is a mirror-reflective photoelectric sensor with a maximum switching distance ≤ 6 m, a sensing distance ≤ 5 m, a PinPoint-LED light source, and a spot size (distance) of Ø 8 mm. Our company supplies the German SICK Sick photoelectric switch GL6. For SICK, Sick, and other European and American brand accessories, please contact our sales department.
Plain language sourcing guide for Sick photoelectric switches GL6
Start with the full model name. Check the brand name. Check the part number. Check the code on the old unit. These small checks help you avoid a wrong order.
Take one clear photo of the front label. Take one photo of the side label. If the part has a cable, plug, port, seal, coil, or screen, take a photo of that area too.
Tell us the quantity you need. Tell us your country. Tell us the date when the plant needs the part. We can then check stock, lead time, safe packing, and the best shipping plan.
If the exact model is no longer made, do not guess. Send the old model and the use case. LEHIY can compare close options and explain which choice is safer for repair work.
Use simple order notes. Write the model in one line. Write the quantity in one line. Write the delivery country in one line. This helps our team reply faster.
Check the old part before removal. Look at the label. Look at the connector. Look at the mounting size. Look at the voltage or pressure rating if it is shown.
Do not rely on a short nickname for a part. Many industrial items have close versions. A small suffix can change the plug, output, range, or software setting.
Ask for a stock check if the plant is stopped. Ask for a lead time if the order is planned. Ask for packing photos if the part is fragile or heavy.
For a replacement order, tell us what failed. Tell us where the part is used. Tell us if an equal model is acceptable. This makes the first answer more useful.
For repeat orders, send the last invoice, old label, or old packing photo. The same reference can help us match the correct product again.
For urgent service, keep the message simple. One model, one quantity, one photo, and one delivery target are enough for a fast first check.
