1. Measurement
Sensors and sensor systems from SICK measure dimensions, oversights, volumes, distances, speeds, and filling levels and then ensure that the process runs smoothly.
2. Detection
SICK sensors are able to detect the presence or absence of various objects as well as the quality of consumer products in order to meet customer requirements.
3. Identification
SICK sensors recognize barcodes, 2D codes or future-proof RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) skills and are particularly successful in demanding industrial environments.
4. Positioning
SICK sensors help you to position yourself correctly. Whether it's orientation, planning, or navigation, anything can be measured using sensors and transmitted to a specific controller to ensure that the process runs smoothly.
5. Monitoring and control
Sick offers components and complete product solutions for gas analysis, dust measurement, flow measurement, water analysis, and level measurement.
6. Safety maintenance
Whether it involves people, machines or other objects, safety maintenance is a top priority in automated production and logistics processes. For decades, SICK has pioneered access maintenance, hazardous areas, and hazardous point maintenance.
7. Network and integration
Communication is a hot topic these days. Safety control solutions from SICK are built into future-oriented know-how and easy-to-use features at every stage of development.

How to maintain the Sick sensor
1. It is necessary to prevent the sensor from contacting corrosive gases, so as not to cause corrosion and affect the measurement results.
2. If the measurement is a high-temperature medium, the SICK sensor should see whether the temperature is within the suitable temperature range of the sensor.

An introduction to the three common types of photoelectric sensors
1. Photoelectric switch sensor
The occlusion between the transmitter and receiver is used to detect states such as motion, object presence, or object position. When the measured object passes through the occlusion beam, the intensity of the light signal received by the receiving head changes, which in turn triggers the switching signal. Photoelectric switch ...
