Product Description

The SICK LUT3-620 (Part No. 1015397) is a high-performance luminescence sensor designed to detect fluorescent marks on various surfaces, regardless of the material’s color, pattern, or texture. Operating with a UV LED light source at a wavelength of 375 nm, the sensor triggers when it detects the visible light emitted by fluorescent substances in the scanning area.

Equipped with a sensing distance of 20 mm and a functional working range between 10 mm and 35 mm, the LUT3-620 ensures precise detection even in demanding industrial environments. The device features an intuitive manual adjustment system via an infinite potentiometer, allowing for quick sensitivity tuning to match specific fluorescent marks. Its robust zinc die-cast housing and IP67 protection rating make it highly resistant to mechanical stress and environmental factors. With a fast response time of 350 µs and a switching frequency of 1.5 kHz, this sensor is ideal for high-speed automated production lines where reliable monitoring of labels, safety marks, or chemical additives is critical for quality control.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Reliable Detection: Accurately senses fluorescent marks on any surface, including wood, paper, plastic, and metal.
  • Background Suppression: Integrated optical filters reliably suppress background luminescence to prevent false triggers.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tuning via a manual potentiometer allows for precise adaptation to different mark intensities.
  • Fast Response: High switching frequency of 1,500 Hz (1.5 kHz) supports high-speed conveyor and packaging applications.
  • Flexible Installation: Features an M12 male connector that can be rotated 90° for easier mounting in tight spaces.
  • Durability: IP67 enclosure rating and wide operating temperature range (–10 °C to +55 °C).

 

Ideal Applications

  • Packaging Industry: Verifying the presence of package inserts, labels, or instruction leaflets.
  • Logistics & Sorting: Detecting invisible fluorescent sorting marks or barcodes.
  • Wood Processing: Identifying marks for automated cutting, sorting, or quality grading.
  • Automotive: Monitoring the application of fluorescent glues, sealants, or lubricants.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring safety seals and tamper-evident markings are correctly applied to vials and boxes.
