Product Description

The SICK UM30-212112, manufacturer part number 6037665, is a high-performance ultrasonic sensor from the renowned UM30 product family. Designed for precision and reliability, this sensor utilizes ultrasonic time-of-flight technology to detect objects and measure distances regardless of material color, transparency, or surface gloss. It operates within a standard sensing range of 65 mm to 350 mm, providing consistent results even in challenging environments filled with dust, dirt, or high humidity.

The device features an integrated 3-digit LED display and a intuitive numeric setup that allows for rapid commissioning without external software. With two independent PNP switching outputs, the sensor can be configured for complex tasks like window mode or background suppression (ObSB). Its robust metal housing and IP67 enclosure rating ensure durability in heavy industrial settings, while internal temperature compensation maintains an accuracy of ±1% across varying thermal conditions. Whether detecting clear glass, liquid levels, or dark surfaces, the UM30-212112 remains a versatile solution for high-accuracy distance monitoring.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15% for exacting industrial requirements.
  • Color-Independent Detection: Reliably detects transparent, shiny, and pitch-black objects that challenge optical sensors.
  • Multi-Sensor Synchronization: Supports synchronization and multiplexing of up to 50 sensors to prevent mutual interference.
  • Temperature Compensation: Internal sensors automatically adjust for temperature changes to ensure stable measurements.
  • Integrated Display: Numerical display allows for “teach-in” and manual adjustment of switching points directly on the device.
  • Rugged Construction: IP65/IP67 rating ensures operational stability in harsh conditions including fog and dust.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Accurate monitoring of liquid levels in tanks or bulk materials in silos.

Diameter Measurement: Real-time diameter checking for metal, paper, or plastic coils and rolls.

Material Detection: Detection and positioning of dark, shiny, or transparent materials like glass and glossy plastic.

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

Web Break Monitoring: Continuous detection of fabrics, wire grids, and foils to prevent production downtime.
