Featured products

W4F Photoelectric sensor: outstanding detection results in almost any application

Detects almost any object without error. Shiny, specular or structured surfaces are no problem, nor are transparent and extremely flat objects or objects with recesses.
Using the intuitive Blue Pilot operating concept, aligning the sensor is a quick, convenient and precise process assisted by visual feedback via the blue LEDs.
Diagnostic functions allow for process control and machine optimisation. Temperature, operating hours or reflectance data provide the base for automated sensor monitoring.

Non-contact Safety Switches: intelligent solutions, low-wear and low-maintenance!

Non-contact safety switches are well-suited if precise guidance of protective devices is difficult. They have very long service lives thanks to the low-wear and low-maintenance construction. They are also resistant to shock and vibrations and offer a high level of protection against manipulation. The portfolio is divided into three areas: Magnetic, RFID and inductive safety switches. Cuboid and cylindrical designs are available for each principle of operation.

GR18 Cylindrical photoelectric sensors with a wide range of application possibilities

The GR18 product family offer exceptional optical and electronic reliability. With intelligent signal evaluation, they do not react to ambient light, dirt, moisture or electromagnetic fields. They work reliably, even under harsh conditions, with an Inox variant made to withstand washdown environments. Their bright status display and the quickly adjustable sensing distance enable easy operation, and the standardised M18 dimensioning and selection of designs allow for every mounting situation.

The FTMg Flow Sensor with Energy Measurement

Measures compressed air and non-corrosive gases such as argon, helium, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Measurement of gas flow and temperature as well as process pressure and energy consumption with only one sensor.
Low pressure loss and high measurement dynamics for cylinder and leakage monitoring.
Visualisation of compressed air consumption via the FTMg monitoring app from SICK.
Intuitive configuration with large, contrast-rich OLED display saves time and money during commissioning.

DesignSpark is the home of our engineering community.

It's an online platform which allows passionate engineers to share ideas and find resources or tools to help with their projects.

Functional Safety over Networks

Industrial networks have been utilised for a long time now. Even decades before the terms “Industry 4.0” or the “Industrial Internet of Things” were mentioned designers have been using field buses. However, the implementation of safety over networks has only been around for just over a decade and some designers have still not made the jump. This article looks at different safety concepts to highlight the advantages of safe network communication. Learn More

The importance of measurement in Motion Control

"If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it." This phrase is used in many arenas but in general society, it is probably most associated with processes management. In the sphere of automation, measurement is an important part of a closed-loop control system. Measurement devices provide the intelligence to the control system, enabling decisions to constantly be made to ensure the correct functioning of the system.

Under pressure to find a level monitoring solution?

There are a lot of different level measurement technologies to choose from and sometimes it is difficult to decide which technology to use in an application. Hydrostatics is a level measurement technique widely employed in the industry. But what is it and what are the benefits and potential pitfalls with the technology?
