| Photoelectric Proximity Switches |
- Foreground suppression
- Background suppression
- Background blanking
- Energetic
|
|
| Photoelectric Reflex Switches |
| Sender and receiver in one housing. A reflector is
required. Different reflector sizes for different ranges and object sizes. |
|
| Through-Beam Photoelectric Switches |
The through-beam photoelectric
switch consists of two devices: the sender and receiver. The separate device
configuration makes large scanning ranges possible. The use of laser diodes
allows greater scanning ranges
while simultaneously maintaining a high resolution. Focus ranges can be set with
high precision. |
|
| Photoelectric Switches with Fibre-Optic Cables |
| Sender and receiver in one housing. 2 fibre-optic cables,
scanning or through-beam principle possible.
Sensors for hazardous areas according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX)6

|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Roller Conveyor |
| These non-contact sensors, which were specially developed
for handling systems, detect the conveyed object from between the rollers. |
|
| Contrast Scanner |
| At a constant scanning distance, up to 30 gray tones from
a scale ranging from black to white can be distinguished. This property is
essential for detecting contrast marks, for example printed color bars. |
|
| Colour Sensors |
| Colour sensors function using a special three-colour
method. They cast light (red, blue, green) on the objects to be tested,
calculate the chromaticity co-ordinates from the reflected radiation and compare
them with previously stored reference tristimulus values. If the tristimulus
values are within the set tolerance range, a switching output is activated. |
|
| Luminescence Scanner |
| Luminescence scanners react to luminescent pigments which
are activated by the UV light source in the scanner. The light, which is then
reflected, is received and eveluated by the luminescence scanner. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Photoelectric Fork Sensor |
| These sensors, which function as two-unit through-beam
systems, combine a sender and receiver in a single housing. The distance between
the sender and receiver is determined by the shape of the housing and is
referred to as the fork width. |
|
| Automation Light Grids |
Two-dimensional detection range for a wide rang of
applications:
- recording and counting of irregular objects
- measuring and sorting of different heights
- presence and protrusion monitoring
- slack monitoring |
|
| Distance sensor and measuring device |
| Distance sensors transmit light onto an object or
reflector and evaluate the reflected beam of light. In the process they
transform the distance thus determined into a proportional electrical signal |
|
| Data Transmission System |
| SICK ISD systems together with infrared light can be used
to form cable-free transmission links for serial data in full-duplex mode - this
does always with trailing cables. A link always consists of one device pair (2
device units) with different carrier frequencies. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Machine Vision |
| The Machine Vision Sensors integrate imager technology,
lighting, display and evaluation hard- and software in one compact housing. |
|
| Position Finder |
| The DMP 2 position finder is an optoelectronic sensor
which is used for fine positioning in handling and warehousing systems. At, for
example, transfer and docking stations, varying temperature- or load-dependent
geometrical variations make fine positioning essential. |
|
| Light Section Sensor |
| The laser line hitting the object is then displayed upon
a square receiver array as a contour corresponding to the object´s height
profile. This allows height profiles to be monitored, newspapers counted,
filling levels detected or the alignment of objects to be ascertained and
checked for presence. |
|
| AS-lnterface® |
| The Actuator-Sensor Interface, called AS-lnterface® for
short, is a system with which simple, binary and analog terminals – sensors,
actuators and control units – can be networked via a cable on the lowest field
level with the first control level. |
