ICK has unveiled the world’s first photoelectric sensor with a touchscreen display, heralding the future for universal and easy-set-up sensing. The pioneering SICK W10 is a versatile all-in-one sensor that represents a major step forward in precise detection technology, adaptable for countless industrial automation applications. The SICK W10 photoelectric sensor’s swipe- up touchscreen technology and simple icons enable intuitive set-up and teach-in. The W10’s settings are pre-configured for rapid installation with common sensor functions, such as background or foreground suppression, available to select from a single device. “For the first time, it’s exciting to operate a sensor that feels as natural to use as a mobile phone,” explains David Hannaby SICK’s UK market product manager for Presence Detection. “The touchscreen display is revolutionary. Just swipe up, select and configure. The W10 guides you effortlessly through the operating modes needed for any installation from the very big to the very small. “With just four product variants, choosing the sensor you need for your application has never been more straightforward. The W10 turns the headache of having to select and stock perhaps hundreds of different spares into a single part number.”

RELIABLE AND REPEATABLE The SICK W10 is a photoelectric proximity sensor that uses intelligent onboard algorithms developed from the experience of common industry applications to achieve high repeatability across the board. With an IP69K-rated stainless steel housing
and eye-safe Class One visible red laser, the SICK W10 adapts effortlessly to widespread uses in factory and logistics automation with built-in modes for standard, high-speed or precision operation. The robust SICK W10 is just as resilient to harsh washdown environments as it is on fast-moving production lines.
THE SICK W10 SWIPE-AND- SET-UP TOUCHSCREEN SENSOR IS A WORLD FIRST
VERSATILE AND ADAPTABLE The SICK W10 therefore masters everyday presence and leading-edge detection duties, even with highly-reflective, dark or uneven surfaces. It is ideal, for example, for level detection in bowl feeders, or presence detection of components with irregular shapes or heights, even if they have shiny metal surfaces.
SCREEN LOCK FUNCTION
The W10 has a secure screen locking function and access restrictions can be set up to prevent unwanted changes to the sensor settings. The single value teach-in enables rapid configuration at a defined distance, while the two-value teach-in enables objects of different heights to be detected without increasing the risk of errors. A manual mode further extends the options for maximum flexibility. The SICK W10 incorporates IO-Link
