The Sick GRL18S-P1358 is a cylindrical photoelectric sensor that uses a retro-reflective sensing principle with background suppression. Its dual-lens system minimizes the minimum distance to the reflector, improving detection accuracy and reliability. Equipped with a visible red PinPoint LED light source, the sensor allows for easy alignment and precise detection of objects.

Designed with a PNP switching output and light switching mode, the GRL18S-P1358 integrates seamlessly into industrial control systems. Its 3-wire cable connection simplifies installation, reducing wiring complexity, while the compact M18 housing (18 mm × 18 mm × 38.1 mm) is ideal for space-constrained setups.

Operating on a voltage range of 10 V to 30 V DC, the sensor provides a fast response time of 500 µs, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. Its IP67-rated housing protects against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh factory environments. Additionally, the sensor comes with fastening nuts and a P250 reflector for easy setup and secure mounting.

The wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +55°C ensures consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions. This combination of robust design, advanced features, and ease of integration makes the GRL18S-P1358 ideal for applications such as material handling, packaging, and automated production systems.

In summary, the Sick GRL18S-P1358 offers precision, reliability, and durability in a compact form factor, making it an essential sensor for modern industrial automation where accurate object detection is critical.
