Product Description

The SICK UM12-1172211 (6053542) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor designed for precision in space-critical industrial environments. Housed in a compact, rugged M12 nickel-plated brass casing, this sensor utilizes advanced ultrasonic time-of-flight technology to detect objects regardless of their color, transparency, or surface gloss. It offers a reliable operating range of 20 mm to 150 mm, with a limiting range extending up to 250 mm, ensuring versatility for close-range monitoring.

Engineered for durability and consistency, the UM12-1172211 features integrated temperature compensation to maintain measurement accuracy even during thermal fluctuations. Its IP67 enclosure rating provides robust protection against dust and moisture, making it ideal for harsh manufacturing conditions. The sensor includes a PNP digital switching output and a fast 24 ms response time, facilitating rapid process control. With its proven M12 design, the sensor integrates seamlessly into existing machine architectures, providing a reliable solution for detecting challenging materials like clear glass, dark plastics, or reflective metal components that often foil traditional photoelectric sensors.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Offers a resolution of ≥ 0.069 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15% for consistent detection.
  • Fast Response: Rapid 24 ms response time and 30 Hz switching frequency for high-speed applications.
  • Temperature Stability: Internal temperature compensation ensures stable results across varying ambient conditions.
  • Material Independent: Reliable detection of transparent, shiny, dark, or multicolored objects.
  • Compact Durability: Rugged metal housing with a very short M12 design for installation in tight spaces.
  • Intuitive Feedback: Equipped with two LED indicators (green for power, orange for switching status).

 

Ideal Applications

  • Object Detection: Identifying transparent glass bottles or clear plastic films on conveyor lines.
  • Level Control: Monitoring liquid levels or bulk materials in small containers and hoppers.
  • Diameter Checking: Continuous measurement of paper, plastic, or metal coil diameters.
  • Quality Inspection: Detecting the presence of dark-colored wooden boards or highly reflective metal parts.
  • Positioning Tasks: Precise positioning of robotic arms or machine parts in compact automation cells.
