SICK 1085765, type GRSE18S-P2421V, is a compact M18 photoelectric sensor built for dependable object detection in demanding hygienic and wet industrial environments. Housed in V4A stainless steel (316L) with a PMMA optical front, it combines a robust cylindrical design with high ingress protection to IP67, IP68 and IP69K. This version operates on 10 to 30 V DC, provides a PNP switching output with light-on and dark-on functionality, and connects via a 4-pin M12 plug.
Designed for stable sensing performance, the GRSE18S-P2421V uses infrared light with a sensing range up to 10 m and a maximum switching distance of 15 m. Its fast response time, 1,000 Hz switching frequency and durable metal construction make it a strong choice for machinery, conveying, packaging and processing applications where reliable, repeatable detection is essential.

What type of sensor is this?
This is a through-beam photoelectric sensor set from the SICK GR18 range. It uses an infrared transmitter and receiver arrangement to detect the presence or absence of an object across the sensing path.
What applications is this sensor suited to?
It is designed for industrial detection duties where reliable object presence monitoring is needed, particularly in hygienic and wet environments. Typical uses include conveyors, packaging equipment, food and beverage machinery, and general automation installations.
What sensing distance can this unit achieve?
The sensor offers a working sensing range of up to 10 m, with a maximum switching distance of up to 15 m under suitable installation conditions.
Is this sensor suitable for wet or hygienic areas?
Yes. The unit is intended for hygienic and wet environments and features a robust stainless-steel housing with high ingress protection ratings of IP67, IP68 and IP69K.
What supply voltage does it require?
It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply, making it suitable for many standard industrial control systems.
What output type does the sensor use?
This version uses a PNP switching output with antivalent switching behaviour. It also supports light-switching and dark-switching operation, depending on the application setup.
How is the sensor connected?
Connection is via a 4-pin M12 plug, which is a widely used format for industrial sensor wiring and makes integration into existing machine installations straightforward.
What materials are used in the housing?
The housing is made from V4A stainless steel, equivalent to 1.4404 / 316L, and the optical front is PMMA. This combination helps the sensor suit demanding industrial environments.
How fast does the sensor switch?
The response time is less than 500 microseconds, and the switching frequency is up to 1,000 Hz. This makes it a strong choice for applications with fast-moving targets.
What are the main installation dimensions?
The sensor has a cylindrical M18 x 1 housing with overall dimensions of 18 mm x 18 mm x 55.9 mm. The usable thread length is 31.7 mm, which can be helpful when planning panel or bracket mounting.
What temperature range can it operate in?
The operating ambient temperature range is -25 °C to +55 °C. For storage, the permissible range is -30 °C to +75 °C.
Does the unit include any mounting hardware?
Yes. SICK 1085765 is supplied with four mounting nuts, which can help simplify installation into compatible machine designs.
- Presence detection of products on conveyors and transfer lines
- Object counting for bottles, cartons, trays, packs and similar items in automated handling systems
- Infeed and outfeed monitoring on packaging, filling and labelling machinery
- Detection of transparent, reflective or irregularly shaped items when reliable through-beam sensing is required
- Position checking of containers, carriers and workpieces during machine movement
- Gap detection between products to support spacing, indexing and flow control
- Entry and exit sensing at machine stations, chutes and guide sections
- Part detection in food and beverage processing equipment, particularly in wet or hygienic production areas
- Monitoring of stainless-steel production lines and equipment used in washdown-prone environments
- General industrial object detection over longer sensing distances where a compact M18 sensor format is preferred
