Sick Electrical Sensor

Contrast sensors are primarily used in packaging/printing machines for the detection of printed or control marks. SICK's line of KT contrast sensors detects even the smallest contrasts at the highest speeds, such as print marks on foils or packaging. They detect minute grayscale variations between the mark and the background on matte, shiny or transparent surfaces. A variety of device types with different contrast resolution methods and teach-in versions are available to meet wide-ranging requirements.

When installation space is extremely limited or the objects to be detected are tiny, fiber-optic sensors are the ideal solution. If it is necessary for even higher requirements to be fulfilled, such as sensing range, temperature resistance, material durability or a flexible mounting process, the intelligent combination of sensors and fiber-optic cables can provide the perfect solution. A wide range of fiber-optic cables with application-specific optical heads ensure that every need is met.

The distance sensors, based on HDDM™ technology, combine maximum reliability, measuring capabilities, flexibility and the perfect price-performance ratio in a very compact housing. Depending on the application, sub-product families are available for distance measurement on natural objects. The sub-product families also come with different interfaces. In addition to the IO-Link function, which all the devices have, the product family also offers sensors with analog and switching output or the option of two switching outputs. Its final distinguishing feature when selecting the right sensor for the application is the light sender: infrared or red light in laser class 1 or 2.

Whether for continuous level measurement, point level measurement or both – SICK offers a wide range of solutions for process engineering, storage, and protection. Based on the installation situation, medium properties, and ambient conditions, SICK provides sensors that ensure efficient processes. As the provider of one of the broadest technology portfolios, SICK brings its knowledge to the forefront.

SICK's vast range of photoelectric sensors offer precise optics and advanced technology, creating market-leading solutions with sensor intelligence. By using the latest SIRIC® and LED technologies, these sensors offer the highest level of operational reliability regardless of any interference factors. Additional sensor information can be used to simplify modern production processes. This extensive range of photoelectric sensors is used in many automation applications around the world.

Almost every industry currently uses millions of inductive proximity sensors. They are extremely durable and have a long service life. They can detect metal things without contact. From ordinary cylindrical or rectangular sensors with a single, double, or triple operating distance to specialized sensors for explosive zones and extreme situations, SICK can always offer the ideal solution to satisfy your needs. When it comes to implementing industry-specific and customized solutions for any work involving automation, sick sensors are the wise and dependable choice.

The sensors of this product family impress with high flexibility. Various sensing ranges of up to 8,000 mm as well as countless configuration options leave no applications unsolved. The high measurement accuracy provided by internal temperature compensation, along with color-independent object detection, immunity to contamination, and a wide operating temperature range up to 70 °C all ensure reliable operation, even under the most challenging conditions.
