Product Description

SICK LUT1B-31325 Luminescence Sensor – High-Speed Detection of Invisible Marks

The SICK LUT1B-31325 Luminescence Sensor is built to detect fluorescent or invisible marks on a wide variety of materials with exceptional reliability. Using a blue LED light source and advanced optical filters, it identifies luminescent targets that ordinary sensors cannot detect. The sensor maintains stable performance across working distances of up to 60 mm, making it ideal for production and packaging environments. Its compact zinc die-cast body, quick installation, and IP67 protection rating ensure long-term durability and precise operation even in harsh industrial conditions.

Designed for precision and speed, the LUT1B-31325 offers a rapid 85 µs response and 6 kHz switching frequency, supporting high-speed automation lines. Its double teach-in function allows quick adjustment to different materials, minimizing setup time and ensuring accurate detection regardless of surface type or color. With both PNP and NPN outputs, it integrates easily into existing systems. The strong filtering system reduces interference from ambient light, improving consistency in applications such as label verification, adhesive bead control, and print mark detection. This combination of speed, adaptability, and stability enhances overall production efficiency and quality assurance.

Why SICK LUT1B-31325?

Because precision matters where the human eye fails. The SICK LUT1B-31325 uses intelligent blue-light technology to uncover hidden luminescent marks with unmatched speed and stability. Compact, rugged, and ultra-fast, it’s the sensor that brings invisible quality control to light—perfect for modern automated lines demanding flawless detection accuracy.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Traditional sensors struggle with invisible markings, fluorescent adhesives, or transparent coatings. The LUT1B-31325 solves this challenge by detecting subtle luminescent cues with precision, even under variable lighting or complex backgrounds. It ensures every label, seal, or mark is identified correctly—preventing production errors, mislabels, and costly quality failures.

The Applications

1. Invisible Label Verification on Bottling Lines

In high-speed packaging environments, clear or lightly printed labels often go unnoticed by standard sensors. The SICK LUT1B-31325 overcomes this issue by detecting fluorescent traces within label adhesives or print marks. Its blue LED light source identifies subtle luminescent signals, ensuring accurate label placement and orientation. The compact body and fast 85 µs response time enable precise detection on rapidly moving bottles or containers, helping manufacturers maintain label accuracy, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency.

2. Adhesive Application Control in Automated Packaging

Many adhesives used in carton sealing and assembly are invisible once applied, making inspection difficult. By using luminescent additives and the LUT1B-31325’s fluorescence detection capability, production systems can instantly verify the presence and correct coverage of glue lines. Its double teach-in calibration quickly adapts to varying materials and lighting, ensuring consistent performance. The sensor’s IP67-rated metal housing allows operation in challenging environments, reducing rework and ensuring every package is securely sealed.

3. Sorting and Mark Detection in Wood Processing

Wood processing lines often mark boards with fluorescent chalk or ink to guide cutting or defect identification. The LUT1B-31325 detects these markings regardless of surface color or grain pattern, enabling automated sorters to react accurately. With a 50 mm sensing distance and robust zinc die-cast design, it withstands vibration and dust common in timber facilities. Its rapid switching frequency allows seamless integration with high-speed conveyors, improving sorting precision and minimizing downtime.

4. Security Seal and Mark Verification in Premium Packaging

For luxury goods and pharmaceutical packaging, tamper-proof seals and invisible authenticity markings are essential. The LUT1B-31325 identifies these hidden luminescent marks without altering product appearance. Its focused 5 × 5 mm light spot and advanced optical filtering detect even faint fluorescent coatings, confirming seal integrity and authenticity. Compact dimensions make it ideal for tight spaces on conveyor systems, ensuring consistent verification of each item before shipment and enhancing brand protection.
