SICK PL240DG Sensor
SICK PL240DG double-grid reflector, part 1017910. 240 mm class reflector for long-range retro-reflective light barriers.
Overview
The SICK PL240DG (part number 1017910) is a large double-grid reflector of the PL series. Its 240 mm class format with double-grid structure provides a strong optical return for long-range retro-reflective photoelectric sensors operating over extended distances.
How It Works
The double-grid corner-cube structure returns the sensor beam with high intensity, enabling retro-reflective sensing across long paths such as wide machine openings and outdoor-adjacent areas. The large area tolerates alignment variation over distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a double-grid reflector?
The structure provides a strong return and tolerance to slight alignment offsets over long distances.
Which sensors pair with it?
Long-range retro-reflective families that specify large reflectors.
How is it mounted?
Screwed to a stable surface opposite the sensor, aligned toward the optical axis.
