Product Description

The SICK UM30-213118 (6036923) is a premier ultrasonic distance sensor designed for industrial automation where precision and durability are paramount. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic time-of-flight technology, this sensor provides highly accurate measurements of up to 1,300 mm, regardless of the target’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It is housed in a robust, nickel-plated brass body with an M30 thread, ensuring easy installation and resistance to harsh environments with an IP67 rating.

One of its standout features is the integrated temperature compensation, which maintains measurement stability despite fluctuating ambient temperatures. The sensor offers dual output versatility, providing both a PNP switching output and a 12-bit analog signal (current or voltage), making it compatible with a wide range of control systems. Users can easily configure the device via an integrated LED display or the Connect+ software. Whether detecting clear liquids, shiny metal, or dark materials, the UM30-213118 delivers consistent performance, even in presence of dust, dirt, and fog, making it an essential component for demanding industrial monitoring and positioning tasks.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Material-Independent Detection: Reliably detects transparent, dark, or reflective objects where optical sensors often fail.
  • High Measurement Accuracy: Features internal temperature compensation to ensure precise results despite environmental changes.
  • Versatile Analog Selection: Automatic switching between 4 mA–20 mA and 0 V–10 V based on load resistance.
  • Flexible Setup: Integrated display and three-button menu allow for fast, tool-free sensor adjustment.
  • Synchronization & Multiplexing: Built-in synchronization prevents mutual interference when multiple sensors are mounted in close proximity.
  • Robust Ingress Protection: IP67-rated housing ensures operation in wet or dusty industrial conditions.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Control: Monitoring liquid levels in tanks or bulk materials in silos, regardless of foam or dust.
  • Winding/Unwinding: Precise diameter measurement for metal, paper, or plastic coils.
  • Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or robot arms.
  • Object Positioning: Precise detection and positioning of glass panels, shiny automotive parts, or dark tires.
  • Quality Inspection: Detecting the presence or height of objects on a conveyor belt in food and beverage or packaging lines.
