In automated production environments, pneumatic cylinders must repeatedly reach exact end positions to maintain process accuracy and machine safety. The SICK MQ10-60APSKU0 is mounted along the cylinder body to detect the internal piston magnet without mechanical contact. Its extended sensing distance allows reliable detection even through thick cylinder walls or protective covers. Fast switching response supports high cycle rates, while contactless operation removes wear-related failures. This combination ensures consistent feedback to the control system, minimizes unplanned downtime, and supports stable operation in continuous-duty automation systems.
Linear slides and shuttle systems used in assembly and transfer lines require precise and repeatable position feedback. The SICK MQ10-60APSKU0 detects magnets integrated into moving carriages, providing accurate position signals without physical contact. Its slim housing fits into compact machine frames, and the wide sensing range reduces alignment sensitivity during installation. High resistance to vibration ensures signal stability during rapid acceleration and stopping. This improves positioning reliability, shortens commissioning time, and supports smooth, coordinated movement between automated stations.
Packaging machinery depends on precise timing to coordinate sealing, pushing, and indexing movements. The SICK MQ10-60APSKU0 monitors magnetic targets on moving components, maintaining reliable detection despite dust, film debris, or moisture. Its sealed construction supports operation in washdown-prone environments, while fast response ensures accurate synchronization of machine actions. By eliminating mechanical wear points, the sensor reduces maintenance requirements and helps maintain consistent throughput, fewer misfeeds, and higher overall packaging quality in demanding production conditions.
Machine guards and access doors must be monitored continuously to ensure safe operating conditions. The SICK MQ10-60APSKU0 is used to confirm open or closed states by detecting magnets mounted on doors or panels. Contactless sensing prevents degradation from repeated movement, while the long sensing range allows concealed installation for added robustness. Stable performance across temperature variations ensures dependable status signals, helping maintain safety logic reliability and uninterrupted operation in industrial facilities.
