Product Description

The SICK UM30-215115 is a high-performance ultrasonic distance sensor engineered for industrial environments where precision and reliability are paramount. Part of the renowned UM30 product family, this sensor utilizes advanced ultrasonic technology to provide stable measurements regardless of an object’s color, transparency, or surface gloss. It offers an impressive operating range of up to 6,000 mm, making it ideal for large-scale detection tasks.

Equipped with an integrated LED display and numerical adjustment, the UM30-215115 allows for fast and flexible commissioning directly at the device. It features internal temperature compensation to ensure high measurement accuracy even during temperature fluctuations. Its robust metal housing and IP67 rating provide exceptional resistance to dust, dirt, and moisture. Additionally, the sensor supports sophisticated synchronization and multiplex modes, allowing up to 50 sensors to operate in close proximity without mutual interference. This combination of long-range sensing, environmental immunity, and user-friendly interface makes the 6037673 a versatile solution for complex automated processes requiring non-contact distance measurement and object detection.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Precision: Offers a resolution of ≥ 0.18 mm and repeatability of ± 0.15% for consistent measurement.
  • Advanced Filtering: Adjustable measurement filters and sensitivity settings to suppress background interference.
  • Integrated Display: Numerical LED display provides real-time distance feedback and simplifies parameter settings.
  • Temperature Compensation: Built-in compensation ensures accuracy across a temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C.
  • Intelligent Syncing: Supports synchronization and multiplexing of up to 50 sensors to prevent cross-talk.
  • Versatile Operating Modes: Includes Switching Point (DtO), Switching Window, and Background Suppression (ObSB).

 

Ideal Applications

  • Level Measurement: Monitoring levels of liquids and bulk materials in large tanks or silos.
  • Collision Avoidance: Distance monitoring for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and cranes.
  • Diameter Control: Checking the diameter of metal, paper, or plastic coils during winding processes.
  • Transparent Object Detection: Reliable sensing of clear glass, plastic films, or bottles where optical sensors may fail.
  • Harsh Environments: Applications in wood processing, waste management, or areas with heavy dust and steam.
