Product Description

The SICK 6068449, part of the renowned UM30 product family, is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor designed for industrial environments where precision and reliability are paramount. Utilizing ultrasonic time-of-flight technology, this sensor provides accurate measurements regardless of object color, transparency, or surface gloss. It excels in detecting challenging targets such as clear glass, dark liquids, or reflective foils that often cause interference for optical sensors.

Equipped with integrated temperature compensation, the UM30-21311B maintains consistent accuracy even during fluctuating ambient conditions. The inclusion of IO-Link V1.1 enables seamless integration into Industry 4.0 architectures, allowing for remote monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and simplified parameter cloning. The sensor features a user-friendly LED display and teach-in buttons for rapid local configuration. Its robust IP67-rated metal housing ensures long-term durability against dust, humidity, and contamination. Whether used for level monitoring, object positioning, or collision avoidance, this sensor provides a versatile solution for complex detection tasks in automated production lines.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Multi-Mode Functionality: Adjustable operating modes including Switching Point (DtO), Switching Window, and Background Suppression (ObSB).
  • Advanced Interference Suppression: Synchronization and multiplexing allow up to 50 sensors to work in close proximity without cross-talk.
  • High Precision: Offers a resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15% for demanding industrial tolerances.
  • Integrated Temperature Compensation: Automatically adjusts for temperature changes to ensure stable measurement values.
  • Configurable Filters: Adjustable measurement filters and sensitivity settings allow for customization based on the application’s specific environmental noise.
  • Visual Feedback: Dual-LED display provides real-time status and aids in the teach-in process.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Control: Precise monitoring of liquid levels and bulk materials in tanks or silos.
  • Material Detection: Detecting transparent, dark, or highly reflective objects in packaging and bottling lines.
  • Roll Diameter Monitoring: Checking the diameter of paper, plastic, or metal coils in winding applications.
  • Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and mobile machinery.
  • Quality Inspection: Continuous monitoring of web tension or fabric loop heights in textile and printing industries.
