The SICK HL18-L5G3AE (part number 1087806) is a high-performance photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial applications. Utilizing a retro-reflective principle with a dual-lens system, it accurately detects objects within a 0.03‚ÄØm to 6.5‚ÄØm range, making it ideal for applications such as packaging, labeling, and material handling.

Its compact cylindrical housing, measuring 16.2‚ÄØmm √ó 45.5‚ÄØmm √ó 31.8‚ÄØmm, allows for seamless integration into space-constrained setups. Despite its small size, it boasts a robust plastic construction with an IP67 protection rating, ensuring durability and reliable performance even in harsh industrial conditions.

The sensor operates with a supply voltage range of 10 V DC to 30 V DC and features an NPN output configuration in light/dark switching mode, allowing for flexible integration into various automation systems. It offers a response time of less than 625 µs and a switching frequency of up to 1 kHz, enabling reliable detection in high-speed applications.

For ease of installation and calibration, the sensor is equipped with a 270° adjustable potentiometer for precise sensitivity adjustment. Additionally, it includes a mounting bracket and fastening screws, streamlining the setup process and ensuring optimal performance.
