The G2 Flat Sensor from SICK offers Outstanding Performance in Miniature Format

SICK G2F 400

February 19, 2019

The G2 Flat is a miniature photoelectric sensor for use in particularly compact plants and robotics systems. With powerful background suppression (BGS), the sensor can be relied upon to detect objects at distances starting from just 8 mm virtually regardless of object size and surface. This makes it an excellent solution for all kinds of tasks wherever space is at a premium and opens up entirely new possibilities for miniaturization in industrial environments. Sensor integration and handling could not be easier. As one of the smallest photoelectric sensor product families from SICK, the G2 Flat is the smart application solution in a miniature format for industrial automation.

Benefits

  • The ultra-thin G2 Flat sensors can be integrated into miniature plants and very tight installation spaces
  • Reliable detection: Detect objects with excellent and high-performance background suppression starting from just 8 mm
  • Even the smallest of objects can be detected without problems
  • Versatility of use: The G2 Flat can be relied upon to detect jet-black, specular, transparent, and shiny objects
  • Easy installation and maintenance – not least thanks to easy differentiation between sender and receiver
  • Ultra-reliable sensor design with VISTAL® housing and steel mounting plates
