Product Description

The SICK UM30-214118 (6036924) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for industrial versatility and precision. As part of the renowned UM30 product family, this sensor utilizes advanced time-of-flight ultrasonic technology to deliver reliable measurements regardless of an object’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It excels where optical sensors often fail, maintaining accuracy in the presence of heavy dust, dirt, or fog.

The device features an integrated LED display that provides real-time distance feedback and allows for intuitive, menu-driven commissioning. With a maximum limiting range of 5,000 mm and a high resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm, it offers exceptional performance for demanding long-range applications. The sensor is built with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and is IP67-rated, ensuring durability in harsh environments. Furthermore, its internal temperature compensation ensures consistent measurement accuracy even under fluctuating ambient conditions, while synchronization and multiplex modes allow for interference-free operation of up to 50 sensors in close proximity.

Key Performance Features

High Precision: Internal temperature compensation ensures a measurement accuracy of ± 1%.
Intelligent Operating Modes: Supports Switching point (DtO), Window (Wnd), and Object between sensor and background (ObSB).
Flexible Interface: Automatic selection between analog current (4-20mA) or voltage (0-10V) output based on load.
Robust Synchronization: Prevents cross-talk through synchronization or multiplexing of multiple sensors.
Fast Commissioning: Numerical LED display and teach-in buttons for rapid setup without external software.
Durability: IP67 enclosure rating with a wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to +70 °C.

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Precise monitoring of liquids and bulk materials in silos or tanks.
Material Detection: Sensing transparent foils, glass, or dark materials in packaging and printing.
Collision Avoidance: Object detection and distance measurement for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and forklifts.
Diameter Checking: Monitoring the diameter of coils (paper, metal, or plastic) for tension control.
Positioning: Accurate distance measurement and positioning of components on conveyor systems.
