Product Description

The SICK UM30-212111 (Part No. 6037661) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor belonging to the versatile UM30 product family. Renowned as a “universal application solver,” this sensor utilizes advanced acoustic time-of-flight technology to deliver precise, non-contact measurement regardless of the target’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It is specifically designed to operate reliably in challenging industrial environments where dust, dirt, or fog might interfere with standard optical sensors.

Constructed with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and rated to IP67, the UM30-212111 offers an operating range of 65 mm to 350 mm. It features integrated temperature compensation to maintain high measurement accuracy despite ambient temperature fluctuations. The sensor is equipped with a user-friendly LED display and teach-in buttons, allowing for rapid configuration of switching points and operating modes. With its compact M30 design and synchronization capabilities to prevent mutual interference in multi-sensor setups, this device provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for complex detection and positioning tasks.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Exceptional resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15%.
  • Environmentally Robust: Immune to dust, dirt, humidity, and ambient light interference.
  • Intelligent Compensation: Built-in temperature compensation for stable measurements up to 70°C.
  • Versatile Operating Modes: Supports Distance to Object (DtO), Window (Wnd), and Object Between Sensor and Background (ObSB) modes.
  • Multi-Sensor Sync: Synchronization and multiplexing functions allow up to 50 sensors to work in proximity without cross-talk.
  • User Interface: Features a 2 x LED display for real-time status and simplified sensor adjustment.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Precise monitoring of liquids and bulk materials in small tanks or containers.

Material Handling: Detection and positioning of transparent objects like glass bottles or plastic films.

Packaging Industry: Managing roll diameters and web tension for paper, plastic, or metal foils.

Quality Inspection: Checking for the presence of dark or highly reflective components on assembly lines.

Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic arms.
