Introduction to the P+F Beckhoff GL series reflective photoelectric sensor from Germany

1、 Core features of GL series

1. Ultra long detection distance

• Scope of detection coverage0.1 meters to 50 metersMeet the needs of remote detection

2. High anti-interference ability

• The principle of opposition is not affected by the color or surface characteristics of the object

• Strong ability to resist environmental light interference (up to 100000 Lux)

3. Multiple types of light spots to choose from

• Standard spot (suitable for routine testing)

• Small spot (high-precision positioning)

• Line spot (special application scenario)

4. Robust industrial design

• Metal casing, with a protection level of up toIP67

• Working temperature range: -40 ° C to+60 ° C

5. Flexible installation method

• Provide a variety of installation brackets and accessories

• The transmitter and receiver can be ordered separately

2、 GL series model naming convention

withGL10-T-2 1000For example:

• GLSeries Name (Contrastive Optoelectronic Sensor)

• 10: Shell size (10mm diameter)

• TSpot type (T=standard spot, S=small spot)

• 2Detection mode (2=standard opposition)

• 1000Maximum detection distance (1000mm=1m)

3、 Main models and technical parameters

4、 Comparison between GL series and other photoelectric sensors

5、 Typical application scenarios

1. Logistics warehousing system

• Height detection of goods in large warehouses (GL50-T-2 50000)

2. automatic production line

• Object in place detection on long conveyor belt (GL18-T-2 5000)

3. packaging machinery

• Product Counting for High Speed Packaging Line (GL10-T-2 1000)

4. automobile manufacturing

• Vehicle positioning and robot collision avoidance (GL10-S-2 300 small spot model)

5. steel industry

• Metal plate testing in high-temperature environments (special high-temperature models)

6、 Selection Guide

1. Distance selection

• Short distance (<1m): GL5/GL10 series

• Medium distance (1-10m): GL18 series

• Ultra long distance (>10m): GL50 series

2. Spot selection

• Standard testing: T-shaped spot

• High precision positioning: S-shaped small spot

3. Output configuration

• NPN output: suitable for Japanese PLC systems

• PNP output: suitable for European PLC systems

4. environmental adaptability

• Dust environment: Choose IP67 protection level

• High temperature environment: Choose a wide temperature model
