Product Description

The SICK UC30-215164 (Part No. 6054717) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection in demanding industrial environments. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, this sensor excels in detecting objects regardless of their color, transparency, or surface finish, making it far more versatile than traditional optical sensors. It features a robust M30 cylindrical plastic housing that is rated for IP65 and IP67 protection, ensuring longevity in dusty or wet conditions.

The device offers a significant operating range of up to 6 meters, with a limiting range extending to 8 meters. Equipped with two NPN digital switching outputs, it allows for flexible control and monitoring of distance thresholds. Its integrated temperature compensation maintains high measurement accuracy despite ambient temperature fluctuations. The UC30-215164 is engineered for ease of integration and high immunity to interference, providing a dependable solution for level monitoring, object detection, and collision avoidance in automation and logistics applications.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Reliable Performance: Ultrasonic technology ensures accurate measurement of transparent, dark, or reflective objects.
  • Temperature Compensation: Internal sensors automatically adjust for temperature changes to maintain measurement stability.
  • Compact Integration: Standard M30 housing allows for easy installation in tight spaces or existing machine mounting.
  • Extended Range: Long-distance detection capabilities up to 8,000 mm for large-scale industrial tasks.
  • Interference Immunity: High resistance to background noise, dust, and ambient light.
  • Switching Flexibility: Dual NPN outputs permit the definition of multiple switching points or distance windows.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Measurement: Monitoring fill levels of liquids or bulk materials in tanks and silos.

Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and forklift trucks.

Object Detection: Detecting presence or position of large components on conveyors or assembly lines.

Roll Diameter Control: Measuring the diameter of paper, plastic, or metal rolls during winding/unwinding processes.

Loop Control: Managing material tension by measuring the slack in continuous material feeds.
