Object Detection Systems
-
Inside or outside: Effective solutions for an incredibly wide range of applicationsObject detection systems detect objects irrespective of size or position, both indoors or outdoors. They are used in intralogistics to increase throughput of conveyor systems. The systems also prevent collisions in outdoor areas and ensure and increase equipment availability in steel mills, ports and other areas. Regardless of the application, system reliability means smooth process flow.

Array Sensors
-
Array sensors use closely spaced beams of light to detect even the slightest differences in gray 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. SICK’s array sensors offer industry-leading reproducibility, in addition to compact, rugged metal housings for use in highly restricted or harsh environments.

Profiling Systems
-
ICK profiling systems measure, detect, classify, count, and check vehicles in 3D. They determine the number of axles on heavy goods trucks for vehicle classification and measure vehicle dimensions to rectify loading errors. The systems recognize overheated vehicles approaching tunnels and other entrances and activate diversions. They also monitor external train contours. If a limit value is exceeded, the system triggers an alarm. All this contributes to safety on roads and railroads.

Fork Sensors
-
Fork sensors, which operate using a through-beam design, combine the sender and receiver in a single housing. As a result, alignment is no longer time-consuming. Even very slight differences in light attenuation are detected due to highly focused light emission and high detection accuracy. Easy installation, high immunity to ambient light, and a wide range of fork widths are some of the many advantages that SICK fork sensors offer. Applications include detecting labels or parts on conveyors.

Analog Positioning Sensors
-
Versatile, precise, superior – analog positioning sensors by SICKFor many tasks that use pneumatic cylinders, it is important to determine more than just the individual piston positions. As a result, there is an increasing demand for sensors that provide continuous feedback. This allows challenging automation tasks to be solved without having to use expensive linear motors. SICK is able to meet these demands with its analog positioning sensors. These sensors, which provide a measuring range of up to 1,007 mm, combine flexibility, simple operation and high precision.

Color sensors
-
Color sensors detect the color 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 colors. If the color values are within the set tolerance range, a switching output is activated.
