SICK GSE6-N1112 Photoelectric sensor
SICK GSE6-N1112 through-beam photoelectric sensor, NPN, part 1052453. Detects any material including transparent objects with the highest optical margin.
Overview
The SICK GSE6-N1112 (part number 1052453) is a through-beam photoelectric sensor in the compact G6 rectangular format with NPN output. Sender and receiver are placed opposite each other, so any object that interrupts the beam is detected, regardless of its color, surface or transparency.
How It Works
The sender projects a modulated beam directly into the receiver. As long as the receiver sees the beam, the output stays in one state; when an object blocks the light path, the output switches. Because the light travels only one way and is received directly, through-beam systems deliver the highest optical margin of all photoelectric principles.
Key Features
- Through-beam principle detects nearly any material
- Reliable detection of transparent and shiny objects
- Highest optical margin, tolerant of dust and dirt on optics
- Compact rectangular G6 housing for both sender and receiver
- NPN switching output (N order code)
- Part number 1052453
Typical Applications
- Detection of transparent films, glass and clear plastics
- Reliable object detection on dusty conveyor lines
- Edge and hole detection on webs and sheets
- Presence checks where diffuse sensors reach their limits
- Monitoring of small gaps between products

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount sender and receiver exactly opposite each other and secure both rigidly; through-beam alignment determines the long-term stability of the barrier. Use the alignment aids of the housing to center the beam. Even with high optical margin, clean the optical faces periodically on dusty lines to keep the reserve intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose through-beam detection?
It detects any object that blocks the beam, including transparent and glossy items, and offers the best tolerance to contamination.
Does it need a reflector?
No, it needs the matching receiver unit mounted opposite; there is no reflector to misalign.
What output does the GSE6-N1112 use?
An NPN switching output.
