Product Description

The SICK UM30-215111 (6037663) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for demanding industrial environments. Utilizing advanced acoustic time-of-flight technology, it delivers consistent results across a vast operating range of 600 mm to 6,000 mm, with a maximum limiting range of 8,000 mm. Its robust cylindrical M30 housing, constructed from nickel-plated brass, ensures durability against physical impacts and harsh conditions.

This sensor is particularly effective because its measurement accuracy is independent of the object’s color, transparency, or surface finish. Equipped with internal temperature compensation and a 3-digit LED display for real-time feedback, it allows for intuitive configuration directly on the device. The sensor supports synchronization and multiplex modes, preventing mutual interference when multiple units are installed in close proximity. With its reliable PNP switching output and high immunity to ambient light, dust, and fog, the UM30-215111 provides a stable solution for complex distance measurement and object detection tasks where optical sensors might fail.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Unmatched Versatility: Detects transparent, shiny, and dark objects with equal precision, regardless of ambient light.
  • Integrated Display: Features a numeric LED display for fast sensor adjustment and real-time distance visualization.
  • Sophisticated Filtering: Adjustable sensitivity and measurement filters allow for stable detection even in dusty or humid air.
  • Temperature Compensation: Internal hardware automatically corrects for temperature-induced changes in the speed of sound.
  • Crosstalk Prevention: Supports synchronization of up to 50 sensors and multiplexing to avoid mutual interference.
  • Robust Housing: IP67-rated metal construction suitable for high-vibration and wet industrial zones.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Control: Monitoring liquid levels or bulk materials in large silos and tanks.
  • Diameter Measurement: Real-time checking of coil diameters for metal, paper, or plastic rolls.
  • Collision Avoidance: Safe distance monitoring for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and forklifts.
  • Object Detection: Identifying presence on conveyor belts for large or irregularly shaped goods.
  • Loop Control: Continuous measurement of fabric or wire tension in processing machinery.
  • Stack Height Monitoring: Measuring the height of pallets or stacked materials in warehouses.
