SICK G6 LASER compact proximity sensor with 680 nm laser and background suppression for reliable object detection up to 400 mm. IP67-rated, 12 x 31.5 x 21 mm form factor ideal for assembly, packaging, and material handling applications.

SICK G6 LASER Proximity Sensor, 400 mm, GTB6L-P3211: Compact Laser Sensor for Industrial Object Detection

The SICK G6 LASER Proximity Sensor GTB6L-P3211 is a compact laser proximity sensor designed for precise industrial object detection and background suppression over a 400 mm range, ideal for space-limited automation and manufacturing tasks.

Key Specifications:

  • Detection range: 400 mm
  • Wavelength: 680 nm
  • Dimensions: 12 x 31.5 x 21 mm
  • Weight: 6 g
  • Cable length: 10 m
  • IP67 protection per EN 60529

Why Choose the GTB6L-P3211 Over Standard Sensors:

  • Compact size and minimal weight allow GTB6L-P3211 to fit in restricted spaces where larger sensors cannot.
  • Laser-based background suppression sensor technology ensures reliable object detection even in the presence of varying backgrounds, improving detection accuracy over traditional sensors.
  • Industrial build quality with IP67 rating offers robust protection against dust and temporary water immersion.

Application Suitability:

The SICK GTB6L-P3211 proximity sensor is suitable for automated assembly, packaging lines, and material handling applications, especially when small part or position detection and consistent background suppression are required.

  • Detects through clutter, 400 mm laser range with 10 m connection cable
  • Fits tight spaces, just 12 x 31.5 x 21 mm and 6 g
  • Sees red laser at 680 nm wavelength for reliable background suppression
  • Withstands dust and water, IP67 rated per EN 60529
  • Ideal for assembly lines, packaging and material handling object detection
The SICK G6 LASER Proximity Sensor GTB6L-P3211 has a detection range of 400 mm. The 680 nm red laser wavelength provides reliable background suppression for accurate object detection.
Yes, the GTB6L-P3211 is designed for space-limited installations with dimensions of just 12 x 31.5 x 21 mm and weighs only 6 g. Its compact size allows it to fit in restricted areas where larger sensors cannot.
The GTB6L-P3211 has an IP67 protection rating per EN 60529, which means it withstands dust and temporary water immersion. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments like assembly lines and packaging applications.
The GTB6L-P3211 includes a 10 m connection cable for flexible installation and routing in your production setup.
The GTB6L-P3211 is ideal for automated assembly lines, packaging operations, and material handling tasks where small part or position detection with consistent background suppression is required.

Laser proximity sensor vs. standard inductive or ultrasonic detectors:

The SICK G6 LASER GTB6L-P3211 is a compact laser-based sensor designed for tight automation cells where space is critical and background clutter or varying surface colors would confuse conventional detectors. Choose it over inductive or ultrasonic alternatives when reliable object detection matters more than cost.

  • For assembly cells with tight mounting envelopes under 40 mm, the 12 x 31.5 x 21 mm form factor fits where larger sensors cannot, freeing space for grippers or part changers.
  • On packaging lines with reflective, transparent, or dark backgrounds, the 680 nm red laser wavelength and background suppression detect parts reliably without false triggers from surface variation.
  • In dusty or wet material handling areas, IP67 protection and sealed optics keep the sensor working through washdown or ambient contamination that would blind optical alternatives.
  • For high-throughput detection at up to 400 mm range with a 10 m cable run, laser response is fast and stable compared to inductive sensors limited to metal parts or ultrasonic sensors prone to interference.
