Product Description

The SICK UM30-215114 (Part No. 6037678) is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor belonging to the renowned UM30 product family. Designed for industrial-grade precision, this sensor utilizes ultrasonic waves to detect objects regardless of their color, transparency, or surface finish. It offers a generous operating range of up to 6,000 mm and a limiting range of 8,000 mm, making it ideal for large-scale detection tasks.

Equipped with internal temperature compensation, the UM30-215114 ensures high measurement accuracy (± 1%) even under fluctuating ambient temperatures. The rugged M30 housing is IP67-rated, providing immunity to dirt, dust, and humidity. A distinctive feature of this model is its built-in display, which allows for fast, flexible sensor adjustment and real-time distance feedback. The dual NPN digital outputs can be independently configured for window mode or distance-to-object sensing. Its ability to synchronize with up to 50 sensors prevents mutual interference, making it a highly reliable solution for complex multi-sensor environments.

 

Key Performance Features

  • Material Independence: Reliably detects transparent, dark, shiny, or liquid objects where optical sensors may fail.
  • Integrated Temperature Compensation: Maintains high accuracy (resolution ≥ 0.18 mm) despite changes in environmental temperature.
  • Synchronization & Multiplex Mode: Allows up to 50 sensors to work in close proximity without cross-talk or interference.
  • Advanced Logic Functions: Supports Distance to Object (DtO), Window (Wnd), and Object between Sensor and Background (ObSB) modes.
  • Robust Environment Resistance: Operates in temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +70 °C with an IP67 enclosure rating.
  • On-Device Configuration: Four-digit LED display and two pushbuttons for easy parameter setting without external tools.

 

Ideal Applications

Level Control: Monitoring liquid levels in tanks or bulk materials in silos/hoppers.

Coil & Web Handling: Diameter measurement and sag control for paper, plastic, or metal coils.

Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or forklift trucks.

Quality Inspection: Detecting the presence or height of objects on conveyor belts, regardless of color.

Diameter Check: Precise monitoring of rolls and spools in the packaging and textile industries.
