Product Description

The SICK UC4-13341 (6034669) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor designed for precision in restricted installation spaces. Combining advanced ultrasonic technology with a miniature housing, this sensor provides reliable detection and measurement regardless of an object’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. Its “straight” sending axis ensures accurate alignment for detecting natural objects within a working range of 13 mm to 150 mm.

Equipped with integrated temperature compensation, the UC4-13341 maintains measurement accuracy even during ambient temperature fluctuations between -25 °C and +70 °C. The sensor features a user-friendly teach-in button for fast commissioning, allowing operators to set switching points (DtO) or windows (ObSB) with ease. Its robust plastic housing is rated IP65/IP67, making it immune to adverse environmental conditions such as dust, dirt, and moisture. This versatility makes the UC4-13341 an ideal solution for complex industrial tasks where optical sensors may fail, such as detecting clear glass or dark, light-absorbing materials in high-speed packaging or assembly lines.

Key Performance Features

Material Independence: Reliably detects transparent, dark, or shiny objects and liquids.
Precision Performance: High resolution (≥ 0.1 mm) and repeatability (± 0.15%) for exacting tasks.
Flexible Setup: Adjustable operating modes including Switching Point (DtO) and Background Suppression (ObSB).
Temperature Compensation: Maintains ±1% measurement accuracy across varying thermal environments.
Rugged Durability: IP65/IP67 enclosure rating ensures longevity in harsh industrial zones.
High Switching Frequency: Operates at 30 Hz, suitable for dynamic processes.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detecting transparent bottles, trays, or foil on conveyor belts.
Electronics Manufacturing: Precise positioning of small components or PCB detection.
Print & Paper: Monitoring web tension or detecting clear film and paper breaks.
Fill Level Control: Small-scale level monitoring of liquids or powders in containers.
Material Handling: Detection and counting of objects with varied colors and textures.
