Product Description

The SICK 1015396 (LUT3-610) is a high-performance luminescence sensor designed for the precise detection of fluorescent marks, even those invisible to the human eye. Operating with a powerful UV LED light source at a 375 nm wavelength, the sensor excites fluorescent substances in the material, which then emit light in the visible spectrum. This emitted light is captured by the sensor’s receiver, allowing it to distinguish marks from their background with exceptional reliability.

Equipped with a robust zinc die-cast housing and rated at IP67, the LUT3-610 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. It features a manual sensitivity adjustment via a potentiometer, providing users with simple and intuitive control to fine-tune the switching threshold. With a fast response time of 350 µs and a switching frequency of 1.5 kHz, this sensor is ideally suited for high-speed automated processes. Its compact rectangular design and M12 4-pin connector ensure easy integration into existing machinery, providing a dependable solution for detecting labels, markings, or invisible authentication features on various surfaces.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Sensitivity: Manual potentiometer adjustment allows for precise tuning to detect low-level luminescence.
  • Fast Response Time: 350 µs response time enables accurate detection in high-speed production lines.
  • Switching Frequency: Operates at a frequency of 1,500 Hz for rapid-fire sensing tasks.
  • Integrated Filter: Includes a KV 418 receiving filter to suppress background interference and enhance signal clarity.
  • Dual Outputs: Features both PNP and NPN switching outputs for versatile PLC compatibility.
  • Durable Construction: Zinc die-cast housing provides superior mechanical stability and IP67 protection against dust and water.

 

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detecting invisible registration marks for cutting and positioning of film or paper.

Quality Control: Verifying the presence of fluorescent glues, lubricants, or protective coatings.

Logistics & Sorting: Identifying invisible labels or markings on parcels and transport units.

Wood Processing: Detecting chalk marks or lumber-specific fluorescent indicators for automated sorting.

Textile Industry: Monitoring fluorescent threads or fabric markings during high-speed production.
