Product Description

The SICK UM30-211118 (6036921) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for extreme reliability in challenging industrial environments. Part of the renowned UM30 product family, this sensor excels where optical technologies fail, providing consistent measurement regardless of material color, transparency, or surface gloss. It operates with a high ultrasonic frequency of 320 kHz, ensuring precise detection of natural objects within a range of 30 mm to 250 mm.

Equipped with both a PNP switching output and a versatile analog output (which automatically selects current or voltage based on load), the UM30-211118 offers seamless integration into various control systems. Its rugged nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 enclosure rating make it immune to dirt, dust, and humidity. Furthermore, the integrated temperature compensation maintains measurement accuracy even during temperature fluctuations. With advanced features like synchronization and multiplex modes, it prevents mutual interference when multiple sensors are used in close proximity, making it a definitive solution for complex distance and level measurement tasks.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Color-Independent Detection: Reliable measurement of transparent, shiny, or dark objects.
  • Temperature Compensation: Internal sensors adjust for temperature changes to maintain ±1% accuracy.
  • Versatile Outputs: Combined PNP digital and 4–20mA/0–10V analog outputs for flexible monitoring.
  • Interference Immunity: Supports synchronization and multiplexing of up to 50 sensors to prevent cross-talk.
  • Robust Construction: IP65/IP67 rating ensures durability against moisture, fog, and heavy contamination.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Integrated display and teach-in buttons allow for fast and flexible sensor adjustment.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Control: Monitoring liquid levels in tanks or bulk materials in silos.
  • Diameter Measurement: Checking the diameter of metal, paper, or plastic coils during winding processes.
  • Object Positioning: Precision detection and positioning of transparent glass or plastic packaging.
  • Collision Avoidance: Safe distance monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and machinery.
  • Conveyor Monitoring: Counting or detecting the presence of objects with irregular shapes on high-speed lines.
