Product Description

The SICK UD18-22CC221 (Part No. 6058910) is a high-performance ultrasonic sensor specifically engineered for the precise detection of double layers and splices in automated material handling. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, the UD18 determines whether zero, one, or two layers of material are present between its sender and receiver units. Unlike photoelectric sensors, the UD18 is unaffected by material color, transparency, or high-gloss finishes, making it an ideal choice for challenging industrial environments.

Constructed with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and an IP65 rating, the sensor is built to withstand demanding conditions involving dust, moisture, and vibrations. It operates with a high switching frequency of 250 Hz and a rapid response time of 2.5 ms, ensuring seamless integration into high-speed production lines. With its “Plug & Play” functionality and three pre-defined sensitivity levels—expandable via Connect+ software—the UD18-22CC221 provides a reliable, maintenance-free solution for preventing machine downtime caused by material feed errors in printing, packaging, and electronics manufacturing.

Key Performance Features

Material Versatility: Detects paper (20 g/m² to 2,000 g/m²), plastic films (≤ 0.4 mm), and metal foils (≤ 0.3 mm).
High-Speed Response: Ultra-fast 2.5 ms response time and 250 Hz switching frequency for high-throughput applications.
Flexible Setup: Adjustable mounting distance between 20 mm and 70 mm (40 mm factory default).
Intuitive Operation: Features 3 selectable sensitivity levels and the ability to “teach-in” up to 4 custom levels.
Rugged Durability: IP65-rated metal housing with temperature resistance from +5 °C to +60 °C.
Advanced Diagnostics: Dual LED indicators for real-time status monitoring and alignment assistance.

Ideal Applications

Print and Paper Industry: Detecting double sheets of paper or cardboard to protect printing presses.
Packaging Machinery: Identifying overlapping plastic films or adhesive splices in labeling processes.
Electronics & Solar: Monitoring wafer handling and detecting double-layer circuit boards or chip cards.
Metalworking: Double-layer detection of thin metal foils or shiny sheet metal.
Automotive Supply: Presence and layer verification of various glossy or transparent components.
