The SICK GL6L-P3211 is a retroreflective laser light barrier designed for precise object detection in industrial automation applications.
Operating at a 680 nm wavelength, this sensor achieves a maximum switching distance of 12 meters when used with the included reflector.
The unit ships with both the reflector and a 10-meter connection cable for installation convenience.
Housed in a compact 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm package weighing just 6 grams, the GL6L-P3211 fits into tight mounting locations common in machine tools and automated production lines.
Its IP67 environmental rating per EN 60529 provides protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, making it suitable for industrial environments where exposure to coolant spray, washdown, or airborne particulate is expected.
This sensor is well-suited for position monitoring, presence detection, and part counting applications where long-range detection in a small form factor is required.
