TRANSPARENT OBJECTS
Detection of transparent objects like clear plastic packaging, bottles made of glass or PET, vials and droppers or plastic wrap.
Detection of metallic and non-metallic objects.
Sometimes you need to know what is hidden behind a surface such as a wall or cover, or what is inside in a storage or shipping container. Capacitive proximity sensors are ideal for level and feed monitoring. From solid material, such as paper or wood, to granules or liquids, they reliably detect the status of the product during the production process and final inspection.
Simplicity, flexibility, and precision – combined in a single fork sensor.
SICK fork sensors combine senders and receivers in a single housing, meaning that they can be adjusted quickly. Thanks to the precise, focused light beam and the high detection accuracy, the sensors also detect very minor light attenuation difference.
Array sensors for edge and diameter detection solutions.
Array sensors use closely spaced beams of light to detect even the slightest differences in grey scale between the target and the background within their field-of-view. They are ideal for edge and diameter detection as well as detecting widths and gaps.
Ideal for complex applications.
Measuring automation light grids come in several different beam separation options, a range of detection heights and output configurations. These light grids can be used for material handling on conveyors, automated storage and retrieval system applications, order fulfilment and more.
Versatile, precise measuring with SICK ultrasonic sensors.
SICK ultrasonic sensors utilise the properties of sound. Objects and distances are determined precisely and with excellent background suppression and immunity to many types of foreign objects in the environment. The output used – switching, analogue, or both – is determined on the basis of your application requirements.
Fits flexibly into the narrowest corners.
When installation space is extremely limited or the objects to be detected are tiny, fibre-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 fibre-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.

OBJECT PROPERTIES
Detection of transparent objects like clear plastic packaging, bottles made of glass or PET, vials and droppers or plastic wrap.
Easily detect the colour of a surface.
Colour sensors detect the colour of a surface. The sensors cast light (red, green, and blue LEDs) on the objects to be tested, calculate the chromaticity coordinates from the reflected radiation and compare them with previously stored reference colours. If the colour values are within the set tolerance range, a switching output is activated.
Detect visible and non-visible marks that illuminate when using UV light.
Fluorescent material and marks are reliably detected independently of their pattern, colors or surface conditions on any material. Luminescence sensors emit UV light with a wave length of approximately 375 nm. Fluorescent substances convert the UV light into long-wave visible light, which is then received and evaluated by the luminescence sensor.
Detect even the smallest contrasts at the highest speeds, such as print marks on foils or packaging.
Contrast sensors are primarily used in packaging/printing machines for the detection of printed or control marks. 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.
Save on costs and enjoy maximum reliability.
The Glare sensor detects and distinguishes glare on even surfaces. Previously, gloss on object surfaces was a disruptive factor that regularly had engineers breaking into a sweat. Now, gloss properties are a distinguishing criterion for process control – regardless of colour, transparency or pattern. Equipped with intelligent Delta-S-Technology, Glare is a further milestone in customer-oriented sensor development. Once again, SICK is confirming its leading position in opto-electronic sensors for the detection of a range of objects.
