Product Description

The SICK UM30-215113 (6036920) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor designed for demanding industrial automation tasks. Built into a robust M30 nickel-plated brass housing, this sensor utilizes ultrasonic technology to provide precise measurements regardless of the target’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It offers an extensive operating range of 600 mm to 6,000 mm, making it ideal for large-scale distance monitoring and level measurement.

Equipped with an integrated LED display and two pushbuttons, the sensor allows for fast, intuitive configuration directly on the device. It features a versatile analog output that can be toggled between current (4–20 mA) and voltage (0–10 V) modes to suit specific control system requirements. To ensure accuracy in fluctuating environments, the UM30-215113 includes internal temperature compensation. Its IP67 rating and immunity to contamination from dust, dirt, and fog ensure reliable operation in the harshest industrial conditions. Whether measuring the diameter of shiny metal coils or monitoring liquid levels in a tank, this sensor provides the high-level repeatability and precision required for optimized process control.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Internal temperature compensation ensures measurement accuracy despite ambient temperature shifts.
  • Material Independence: Reliably detects dark, shiny, transparent, or reflective objects where optical sensors may fail.
  • Flexible Setup: Features an on-board LED display and buttons for easy teach-in and parameter adjustment.
  • Synchronization: Supports multiplex and synchronization modes to prevent mutual interference when using multiple sensors in close proximity.
  • Robust Durability: IP65/IP67 enclosure rating provides protection against moisture, dust, and industrial contaminants.
  • Configurable Outputs: Single analog output is user-selectable between 4 mA to 20 mA or 0 V to 10 V.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Control: Monitoring liquid or bulk material levels in silos, tanks, and hoppers.
  • Coil & Roll Monitoring: Measuring the diameter of paper, plastic, or metal coils for tension and speed control.
  • Object Detection: Detecting transparent or highly reflective packaging materials on conveyor belts.
  • Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or overhead cranes.
  • Positioning: Precise positioning of large industrial components during assembly or logistics.
