Product Description

The SICK UC30-215162 (6054715) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for demanding industrial environments where precision and reliability are paramount. Utilizing advanced time-of-flight technology, this sensor provides accurate measurement regardless of object color, transparency, or surface gloss. It features a robust rectangular housing that is both IP65 and IP67 rated, ensuring durability against dust and water ingress.

With a substantial operating range of up to 6,000 mm and a limiting range extending to 8,000 mm, the UC30-215162 is ideal for long-range detection and level control. It is equipped with two PNP switching outputs that can be easily configured via a teach-in button or software. The integrated temperature compensation ensures consistent measurement accuracy even during fluctuating thermal conditions. Additionally, the sensor supports synchronization and multiplexing modes, allowing up to 50 sensors to operate in close proximity without mutual interference. This combination of powerful ultrasonic technology and user-friendly configuration makes it a versatile solution for complex automation tasks, providing a high level of process reliability and machine uptime.
