It is possible to bypass small obstacles (such as dust) (photoelectric is completely not allowed in this environment).
Liquid position can be measured. (e.g. for level monitoring)
Transparent objects can be measured. (e.g. presence or displacement of glass)
It is not affected by the color of the surface of the object. (Extremely dark or very bright surfaces)
Ultrasonic sensors can be used in oily environments. (Even if there is oil splashed on the sensing surface, the sensor can still work normally, but if the oil splashes on the transmitting and receiving surface of the photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric will not work)

Sick Sensors – Applications for thermistor sensors
1. Thermistor sensor temperature measurement
Thermistor sensors used to measure temperature are generally simple in structure and inexpensive. Thermistors without an outer protective layer can only be used in dry places; Hermetically sealed thermistors are not afraid of moisture erosion and can be used in harsh rings.

Sick Sensors – The system composition of ultrasonic sensors
Transmitter: An oscillator (usually ceramic, about 15 mm in diameter) vibrates to generate ultrasonic waves and radiate them into the air.
Receiver: When the oscillator receives the ultrasonic wave, it generates the corresponding mechanical vibration according to the ultrasonic wave and converts it into electrical energy as the output of the receiver.

Sick Sensors - Introduction to the working principle and classification of photoelectric sensors
Photoelectric sensor is a small electronic device, a key element to end the photoelectric conversion in various photoelectric detection systems. It is a sensor that uses the various properties of light to detect the presence or absence of objects and changes in the surface state. Photoelectric sensors are non-contact, fast responding, and functionally reliable.

Sick Sensors – the principle and practical application of color mark sensors
Principle:
Contrast sensors are often used to detect spots on specific color marks or objects, and they are used to detect color marks by comparing them to non-color mark areas, rather than directly measuring color. The color mark sensor is actually a reverse device, where the light source is mounted perpendicular to the target object, and the receiver is connected to the ...
