Products Sensors & Sensing Systems Combining high speed, precision and accuracy
Incorporating an easy to use display and control, SICK has launched its new OD Mini short range distance sensor.
The SICK OD Mini achieves micron resolution and millisecond responsiveness in a rugged, compact and lightweight unit making it well suited for precision measurement and positioning applications where high levels of accuracy are demanded, especially at high speeds, for example for positioning of robotic gripper arms, or in pre- cision machining. The SICK OD Mini’s high performance measurement capability also means it can be used for quality duties such as inspection of manufacturing tolerances, and even for sorting and classification. The SICK OD Mini’s CMOS receiver ensures high machine avail- ability by eliminating the possibility of false readings due to the brightness, colour or reflectivity of the object’s surface. “The SICK OD Mini is a real advance in short range distance sens- ing - especially for providing an ‘eye’ on the business end of moving equipment such as robotic gripper arms, or for similar dynamic appli- cations,” explained David Hannaby, product manager, Imaging & Measurement for SICK UK.
The SICK OD Mini is available in two rugged IP67 18x31x41mm casings - the stainless steel version weighs only 70g, while the alu- minium casing weighs just 40g. Three detection ranges are avail- able from 10mm to 20mm, 20mm to 60mm and 60mm to 150mm. With a response time of 1ms at each range, the OD Mini achieves the accuracy and performance needed in highly demanding engi- neering applications.
It is quick to commission and easy to operate with an integral dis- play with four status LEDs, and can be programmed through a simple teach-in, or remotely via PC or other factory controller. Because signal amplification is integral to the sensor, additional
cabling is not required, saving both on weight and additional connec- tions. The SICK OD Mini also offers a high level of connectivity for simple integration with a wide range of industrial interfaces. Digital, analogue or serial interfaces are available to suit the application and the control context. SICK

INTELLIGENTLY SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR SIMPLE APPLICATIONS
When the application is simple - the solution shouldn’t be complicated. Sometimes a standard sensor is all you need. Machine builders and end users alike trust standard sensor solutions from SICK. Why? Quite simply, SICK gives them machine performance advantages no one else can - even in its standard line of photoelectric, inductive and magnetic sensors. More reliability. Easier integration. Fewer false trips. We’ve spent more than 60 years working hard... to make it easy. We think that’s intelligent.
