Product Description

The SICK 6068448 (UM30-21211B) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor from the industry-leading UM30 product family. Designed for versatility and reliability, this sensor utilizes advanced acoustic time-of-flight technology to provide precise measurements regardless of the object’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It operates within a sensing range of 65 mm to 350 mm and is housed in a robust, nickel-plated brass M30 cylindrical body, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

This model is equipped with an integrated LED display and pushbuttons, allowing for fast, intuitive commissioning and real-time status monitoring. With a high measurement accuracy of ±1% and internal temperature compensation, the UM30-21211B ensures consistent performance even during temperature fluctuations. Its IO-Link compatibility enables seamless integration into Industry 4.0 architectures, providing enhanced diagnostic capabilities and automated parameterization. Whether detecting dark materials, clear glass, or liquid levels, this sensor delivers stable results where traditional photoelectric sensors might fail, bolstered by its IP67-rated protection against dust and moisture.

Key Performance Features

Integrated Temperature Compensation: Ensures high measurement accuracy (±1%) by adjusting for changes in ambient temperature.
Four Operating Modes: Supports switching point (DtO), switching window, Background (ObSB), and teach-in of digital outputs.
Intelligent Synchronization: Allows up to 50 sensors to work in close proximity without mutual interference (multiplexing).
Advanced Filtering: Adjustable measurement filters and sensitivity levels to ignore background noise or specific obstacles.
Robust Construction: IP65/IP67 enclosure rating with a wide operating temperature range from -25 °C to +70 °C.
Push-Pull Output: Flexible digital output type (PNP/NPN) with a maximum current of 100 mA.

Ideal Applications

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

Material Handling: Detection and positioning of transparent objects, such as glass bottles or plastic films.

Coil/Roll Monitoring: Diameter checking for paper, plastic, or metal coils in winding applications.

Obstacle Detection: Used in AGVs or mobile machinery for collision avoidance in dusty or foggy conditions.

Conveyor Systems: Reliable object counting and gap control for dark or shiny packaging materials.
