Product Description

The SICK 6037660 (UM30-211111) is a premium ultrasonic distance sensor belonging to the versatile UM30 product family. Designed as a universal “application solver,” this sensor utilizes advanced time-of-flight technology to deliver high-precision measurement regardless of an object’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It features an integrated 3-digit LED display and two status LEDs, allowing for fast, intuitive configuration and real-time distance visualization without requiring external software.

Its robust cylindrical M30 housing is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, offering IP67 protection against dust, dirt, and moisture. The UM30-211111 is equipped with internal temperature compensation, ensuring consistent accuracy even during temperature fluctuations. Key functional modes include Distance to Object (DtO), Window mode (Wnd), and Object Between Sensor and Background (ObSB), providing unparalleled flexibility for complex detection tasks. Furthermore, it supports the synchronization and multiplexing of up to 50 sensors to prevent mutual interference, making it an ideal choice for high-density installations in automated production lines.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Offers a resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and a repeatability of ± 0.15%.
  • Color-Independent Detection: Reliably detects transparent, shiny, or multi-colored objects that often baffle optical sensors.
  • Integrated Display: Numerical 3-digit LED display for easy “Teach-in” setup and distance monitoring.
  • Environmental Resilience: Internal temperature compensation and IP67 rating ensure performance from -25°C to +70°C.
  • Advanced Logic: Selectable switching modes (DtO, Window, ObSB) and adjustable sensitivity for tailored detection.
  • Anti-Interference: Built-in synchronization and multiplex mode prevent cross-talk when multiple sensors are used in close proximity.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Accurate monitoring of liquids or bulk materials in small tanks and containers.

Diameter Monitoring: Measuring the diameter of rolls (paper, plastic, or foil) in printing and packaging machinery.

Object Presence: Detecting transparent glass bottles or clear plastic trays on conveyor systems.

Positioning Tasks: High-accuracy positioning of robotic arms or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in tight spaces.

Material Loop Control: Managing the tension and sag of web materials in textile or paper processing.
