Product Description

The SICK UM30-212115 (6037670) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for precise detection in challenging industrial environments. Part of the renowned UM30 product family, this sensor utilizes advanced ultrasonic technology to provide reliable measurements regardless of an object’s color, transparency, or surface finish. It features a compact M30 cylindrical nickel-plated brass housing, making it both durable and easy to integrate into existing machinery.

With an operating range of 65 mm to 350 mm and a resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm, the UM30-212115 ensures high accuracy through integrated temperature compensation. The device is equipped with a convenient LED display and push-buttons, allowing for intuitive on-sensor parameterization without the need for external software. Its robust IP65/IP67 enclosure rating provides excellent protection against dust, humidity, and fog, ensuring long-term operational stability. Designed for versatility, the sensor supports synchronization and multiplexing for up to 50 sensors, preventing mutual interference in dense installations. Whether detecting dark, shiny, or transparent materials, this NPN-switching sensor delivers consistent performance for demanding automation tasks.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Precision Measurement: High resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15% for consistent accuracy.
  • Internal Temperature Compensation: Automatically adjusts for ambient temperature fluctuations to maintain measurement integrity.
  • Integrated Display: Four-digit LED display with push-buttons allows for easy setup and real-time distance monitoring.
  • Material Independence: Reliably detects transparent glass, liquids, glossy plastics, and dark objects where optical sensors fail.
  • Synchronization/Multiplexing: Supports hardware synchronization to prevent crosstalk in multi-sensor configurations.
  • Robust Housing: Nickel-plated brass construction with an ultrasonic transducer made from polyurethane foam and glass epoxy resin.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Configurable measurement filters and sound beam width to adapt to specific environmental requirements.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Measurement: Monitoring levels of liquids and bulk materials in small tanks or hoppers.
  • Diameter Control: Precise checking of coil diameters for metal, paper, or plastic film rolls.
  • Detection of Transparent Objects: Reliable sensing of glass bottles, clear plastic packaging, and wafers.
  • Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic arms.
  • Stacking Height Control: Accurate height measurement for pallets or material stacks in logistics and warehousing.
  • Tension Control: Monitoring the sag or tension of continuous fabrics and wire grids during production.
