SICK GTB10-P1212 1065856 Photoelectric Sensors
The GTB10-P1212 is a photoelectric proximity sensor, part number 1065856, developed for contactless detection of objects in industrial machinery. It provides a sensing range from 20 mm to 950 mm, uses visible red PinPoint LED light, and features a PNP switching output. Its extended detection distance makes it practical for monitoring products and components where a larger sensing gap is required.

The SICK GTB10-P1212, part number 1065856, is a photoelectric proximity sensor designed to detect objects directly from reflected light without a separate reflector. Its visible red PinPoint LED projects a defined light spot toward the target, while the receiver evaluates the returning light to determine object presence. The PNP switching output provides the detection signal for compatible PLC inputs and machine control circuits.
In industrial applications, the GTB10-P1212 can be installed for carton detection on conveyor systems, component presence checking at assembly stations, product counting, workpiece positioning, and monitoring items entering automated equipment. Its longer sensing capability is useful in packaging machines, material handling installations, warehouse equipment, and production lines where the sensor cannot be mounted very close to the target.
As part of the SICK G10 photoelectric sensor family, the GTB10-P1212 is built for repetitive detection tasks in factory automation environments. Its IP67 enclosure rating helps protect internal components against dust and temporary water exposure. The compact industrial housing and LED-based sensing system support stable operation in machinery requiring continuous non-contact object monitoring.
