SICK
SICK Process Instrumentation Portfolio & Advantages
SICK offers a comprehensive range of process instrumentation solutions designed for precision, reliability, and seamless integration into industrial automation. Here’s an overview of key product series and their competitive advantages:
1. Level Measurement Solutions
-
LFP TDR-Based Sensors:
-
Utilize Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) for non-contact, calibration-free level detection in liquids, suitable for containers up to 2,000 mm in height.
-
Features minimal measurement dead zones, ideal for small containers, and withstands extreme conditions (-20°C to 100°C; pressure up to 6 bar).
-
-
Ultrasonic Sensors (UM30 Series):
-
Detect levels or objects up to 3.4 m via ultrasonic waves, immune to dust, moisture, or surface reflectivity. IP65/IP67 protection ensures robustness in harsh environments.
-
Applications: Tank level monitoring, conveyor object detection, and robotics.
-
2. Flow & Pressure Sensors
-
FTMg Thermal Flow Meters:
-
Integrate flow, temperature, and pressure measurement in one device using calorimetric principles. Achieve ±3% accuracy with dynamic leakage detection for compressed air/gases.
-
Energy Management: OLED display and IO-Link support enable real-time能耗分析, aligning with ISO 50001 standards for industrial efficiency.
-
-
Pressure Transmitters (PBT/PFT/PHT Series):
-
Cover absolute, gauge, and compound pressure ranges (0–600 bar). No moving parts ensure >10 million stress cycles and zero maintenance.
-
Customizable for corrosive media (e.g., flush membranes for sludge/viscous fluids) and temperatures from -40°C to 150°C.
-
3. Detection & Positioning Systems
-
picoScan100 LiDAR Series (e.g., picoScan150):
-
2D LiDAR with 75 m range, 50 Hz scan rate, and 0.05° resolution. Ideal for AGV/AMR navigation, collision avoidance, and outdoor use (-33°C to +50°C).
-
Patented HDDM+ technology resists interference from rain, dust, or ambient light.
-
-
SPEETEC® Speed/Length Sensors:
-
Non-contact laser Doppler technology measures linear motion up to 10 m/s (e.g., webs, blanks). Accuracy: ±1 mm/m, with immunity to surface wear or slippage.
-
-
W10 CMOS Laser Sensors:
-
Touchscreen interface simplifies setup for gap, height, or reflective surface detection. IP69K-rated 316L stainless steel housing suits hygienic/washdown environments.
-
4. Compact Photoelectric Sensors
-
G2 Series:
-
Miniaturized design (1/3 size of conventional sensors) with IP67 protection and -40°C to +75°C tolerance. Blue laser/PinPoint LED options enable detection of dark (e.g., solar wafers) or transparent objects.
-
-
Cylindrical Models (e.g., WS/WE45):
-
M18 threaded housing for easy installation. Used in packaging, logistics, and access control systems.
-
5. Safety & Muting Solutions
-
DMM4 Muting Module:
-
Enables “man-material separation” for conveyor safety. Configurable via Safety Designer software for partial muting (e.g., ignoring empty pallets) and beam coding to prevent optical interference.
-
Core Product Advantages
-
Non-Contact Precision: TDR, ultrasonic, and LiDAR technologies eliminate mechanical wear and enable contactless measurement of sensitive/aggressive media.
-
Extreme Durability: IP65/IP67/IP69K ratings, wide temperature/pressure ranges (-40°C to +150°C; 600 bar), and corrosion-resistant materials (PVDF, 316L steel).
-
Smart Integration: IO-Link, PoE, and cloud connectivity (e.g., FTMg) for predictive maintenance and Industry 4.0 compliance.
-
Simplified Workflows: Touchscreen interfaces (W10), auto-teach functions (UM30), and plug-and-play installation reduce setup time by ≤30%.
Industries Served: Automotive, food & beverage, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and energy. SICK sensors enhance efficiency (e.g., 40% faster sorting in warehouses) and safety while reducing operational costs.
