Product Description

The SICK 6037668 (UM30-215112) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor within the renowned UM30 product family, engineered to provide reliable detection in the most challenging industrial environments. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, this sensor measures the distance to objects regardless of their color, transparency, or surface gloss. It is particularly effective for detecting dark, shiny, or clear materials that often pose a challenge for optical sensors.

Equipped with an integrated LED display and a 5-pin M12 connector, the UM30-215112 allows for intuitive commissioning and real-time status monitoring. Its rugged nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 enclosure rating ensure durability against dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. The sensor features internal temperature compensation, maintaining high measurement accuracy even during fluctuating ambient conditions. With a significant sensing range of up to 6,000 mm and dual PNP switching outputs, this sensor is a versatile solution for large-scale automation tasks where precision and mechanical robustness are paramount.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Reliable Material Detection: Consistent measurement of transparent objects, liquids, powders, and high-gloss metal surfaces.
  • Intuitive Setup: Features a numerical LED display and easy-to-use “Teach-in” buttons for rapid configuration of switching points.
  • Advanced Compensation: Integrated temperature compensation ensures measurement accuracy of ± 1% regardless of thermal shifts.
  • Flexible Operating Modes: Supports Distance to Object (DtO), Window (Wnd), and Object between sensor and background (ObSB) modes.
  • Synchronization: Ability to synchronize or multiplex up to 10 sensors to prevent mutual interference in tight installations.
  • Robust Protection: Rated IP67 for high resistance to environmental contaminants and demanding wash-down conditions.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Monitoring fill levels of liquids or bulk solids in large silos and tanks.

Collision Avoidance: Assisting automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and cranes in detecting obstacles at long distances.

Diameter Monitoring: Measuring the diameter of rolls (paper, foil, or metal) for winding and unwinding processes.

Object Presence: Detecting large components on conveyor systems or in palletizing applications.

Broken Web Detection: Monitoring for tears or breaks in continuous material webs like film or fabric.
