Inductive Proximity Sensors
-
Millions of inductive proximity sensors are currently in use in virtually all industries. They detect metal objects without contact, and are characterized by a long service life and extreme ruggedness. With the latest ASIC technology, SICK's sensors offer the ultimate in precision and reliability. SICK can provide the right solution to meet your requirements every time – from cylindrical or rectangular standard sensors with single, double or triple operating distance, to special sensors for explosive zones and harsh environments. Our sensors are the intelligent, reliable route to implementing industry-specific and customized solutions to any task involving automation.

Safety Laser Scanners
-
SICK uses its vast to create safety laser scanners with maximum performance. Whether mobile or stationary, for area protection or access protection – our comprehensive portfolio offers the right cost-effective package for every requirement and task. Like optical radar, the compact systems scan their surroundings and measure distances by using the time-of-flight principle of measurement. The integrated rotating mirror creates a two-dimensional scan for freely defined protection areas.

Level Sensors
-
Intelligent solutions for level and point level measurementWhether for continuous level measurement, point level measurement or both – SICK offers a wide range of solutions for process engineering, storage, and protection. Based on the installation situation, medium properties, and environmental conditions, SICK provides sensors that ensure efficient processes. As the provider of one of the broadest technology portfolios, SICK brings its knowledge to the forefront.

Gas Transmitters
-
Simple, fast, and low maintenanceWhen it comes to creating gas analyzers that can serve as field instruments, gas transmitters are the logical next step. However, compared to the former, a gas transmitter requires barely any additional technical aids to perform the measurement task. In many cases, there is no need for costly sampling and gas conditioning either.

Customized Analyzer Systems
-
Extractive analyzer systems based on high-quality standard modules and components. Thanks to the configurable design, the analyzer systems can be provided with the optimum specifications to meet the requirements of particular customers. If desired, retrofitting can be carried out easily and cost-effectively by installing analyzers and gas conditioning components. Long-term system support is assured.

Profiling Systems
-
ICK profiling systems measure, detect, classify, count, and check vehicles in 3D. They determine the number of axles on heavy goods trucks for vehicle classification and measure vehicle dimensions to rectify loading errors. The systems recognize overheated vehicles approaching tunnels and other entrances and activate diversions. They also monitor external train contours. If a limit value is exceeded, the system triggers an alarm. All this contributes to safety on roads and railroads.

Intelligent identification
RFID
-
Radio-based RFID technologies in the HF (high frequency) and UHF (ultra high frequency) ranges supplement SICK’s industrial automation portfolio. In applications where process-relevant data is modified remotely, RFID makes it possible to store data on writable and rewritable media. And, in contrast to optical solutions, RFID provides reliable identification of all objects – despite dirt and everyday wear.

Array Sensors
-
Array sensors use closely spaced beams of light to detect even the slightest differences in gray scale between the target and the background within their field-of-view. They are ideal for edge and diameter detection as well as detecting widths and gaps. SICK’s array sensors offer industry-leading reproducibility, in addition to compact, rugged metal housings for use in highly restricted or harsh environments.

Object Detection Systems
-
Inside or outside: Effective solutions for an incredibly wide range of applicationsObject detection systems detect objects irrespective of size or position, both indoors or outdoors. They are used in intralogistics to increase throughput of conveyor systems. The systems also prevent collisions in outdoor areas and ensure and increase equipment availability in steel mills, ports and other areas. Regardless of the application, system reliability means smooth process flow.

Product
Color sensors
-
Color sensors detect the color of a surface. The sensors cast light (red, green, and blue LEDs) on the objects to be tested, calculate the chromaticity coordinates from the reflected radiation and compare them with previously stored reference colors. If the color values are within the set tolerance range, a switching output is activated.

Tailored for Measuring Emissions
CEMS solutions
-
SICK's CEMS solutions are analyzer solutions that have been specifically designed for measuring emissions at power plants, industrial facilities, or on ships. CEMS solutions can be used to measure pollutants and reference quantities and to perform data processing on the results in accordance with the relevant national or international legislation.

Extractive Gas Analyzers
-
Reliable gas analysis — even under harsh process conditionsSICK's extractive gas analyzers can be used in a large number of applications. The extractive measurement technology extracts a partial gas flow from the gas duct, conditions the extracted gas and feeds it to an analyzer module under constant conditions. All the measurement technology that SICK offers – from gas sampling and conditioning right through to the numerous analyzer modules – is perfectly tailored to the measurement task concerned.

Transmittance Dust Measuring Devices
-
Maintaining a clear sightline even when dust concentrations are highTransmittance dust measuring devices transmit light through the entire duct. With this type of measurement, light attenuation indicates the concentration of dust inside the duct. These measuring devices are specially designed for medium to high dust concentrations and large duct diameters. Consequently, they are equally suited to emission and process monitoring as they are to hall monitoring applications.

Incremental Encoders
-
Versatile, compact and flexible – Incremental encodersIncremental encoders are used when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required. These encoders provide information about the position, angle and number of revolutions. The number of lines per revolution determines the resolution. The current position can be determined by counting these pulses from a reference point. Upon activating the machine, a reference run to the reference point is required to determine the absolute position of the encoder.
