1. Industrial sensors
The SICK industrial sensor portfolio includes the widest range of photoelectric sensors, fiber optic amplifiers, color mark sensors, proximity sensors, magnetic cylinder sensors, and measuring light curtains in the automation field, which are mainly used for recording, counting, classifying, and positioning objects, detecting the shape and position of objects, and distinguishing between color and surface properties.
2. Vision sensor
Vision sensors from SICK are equipped with a component positioning toolset for precise positioning of both free-form and fixed-form objects. It adapts to changes in ambient light as well as small distance changes.
3. Ranging sensor
The range sensor series includes: short-range laser distance sensor, medium-range laser distance sensor, long-range laser distance sensor, barcode positioning sensor, infrared data transmission system, DMP positioning sensor, ultrasonic sensor, speed sensor.
4. Process instrument sensor
SICK industrial instrumentation sensors include pressure transmitters/switches, level gauges/switches, flow sensors, bulk material flow detection systems, and temperature sensors, which are used to monitor the amount of fluid changes (pressure, level, temperature, and flow) in the automated production process to ensure reliable and stable automation processes.

What are the main uses of Sick sensors – laser distance sensors?
1. Laser length measurement
Precision length measurement is one of the key technologies in the precision machinery manufacturing industry and the optical processing industry. Modern length measurement is mostly carried out by using the interference phenomenon of light waves, and its accuracy mainly depends on the monochromacy of light. Laser is the most ideal light source, it is more ...

Sick Sensors – Where can ultrasonic sensors not be used?
(1) When the target to be measured is not perpendicular to the transducer of the sensor. This is because the target of the ultrasonic test must be within an angle of no more than 10° perpendicular to the sensor.
(2) When a small beam diameter is required. Because the diameter of the general ultrasonic beam is ...

Causes and solutions for the easy misdetection of SICK color scale sensors
Reasons for false detection: 1. The installation distance is inappropriate
Different from the identification of the reflective intensity of ordinary photoelectric switches, because the color mark sensor recognizes the grayscale contrast, if the measured material is not placed within the detection distance, its sensitivity (grayscale recognition ability) is significantly reduced, and even cannot be ...
