Product Description

The SICK UC4-13345 (6034670) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered to provide reliable detection in the most challenging industrial environments. Housed in a robust, miniature rectangular ABS plastic casing, this sensor is specifically designed for applications where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, the UC4-13345 excels at detecting objects regardless of their color, transparency, or surface finish, making it far more versatile than traditional optical sensors.

It features an operating range of 13 mm to 150 mm and a limiting range of up to 250 mm. The integrated temperature compensation ensures consistent measurement accuracy even during fluctuating thermal conditions. With a fast response time of 24 ms and a switching frequency of 30 Hz, it is ideal for high-speed automated processes. The device is easy to commission via a physical Teach-in button, allowing for quick setup of switching points and windows. Its IP67 rating ensures durability against dust and water ingress, making it a reliable “all-rounder” for modern factory automation.

Key Performance Features

Material Independence: Reliably detects transparent, shiny, dark, or multi-colored objects that often fail with optical sensors.
Miniature Design: Ultra-compact housing allows for seamless integration into confined machine spaces and small assembly lines.
Integrated Temperature Compensation: Automatically adjusts for temperature changes to maintain high measurement precision.
High Ambient Immunity: Proven resistance to dirt, dust, humidity, and fog, ensuring stable operation in harsh conditions.
Flexible Setup: Simple commissioning via a Teach-in button with adjustable operating modes (Switching point/Window/Background).
Precise Background Suppression: Effectively ignores background interference to focus strictly on the target object.

Ideal Applications

Packaging Industry: Detection of transparent films, clear bottles, and tray presence.

Electronics Production: Positioning of small components and PCB detection.

Level Monitoring: Measuring fluid levels in small containers or monitoring bulk materials in hoppers.

Logistics & Conveying: Detecting the presence of varied objects on conveyor belts regardless of surface gloss.

Print & Paper: Monitoring for web breaks or detecting the diameter of paper rolls.
