SICK’s next-generation distance sensor off ers countless possibilities
S
ICK has launched its next-generation OD2000 distance sensor, combining
high-precision reliability with outstanding price, to deliver a versatile all-rounder for multiple applications in factory automation and intralogistics. The standalone and compact SICK OD2000 is a universal product family with minimal variants, while making confi guration and parameterisation ‘plug and play’. With IO-Link as standard, it off ers highly-versatile machine integration possibilities, while providing for diagnostics and condition monitoring. With a large measuring range up to 1,200mm, as well as measuring frequency of up to 7.5kHz, the OD2000 is suitable for wide-ranging positioning and quality- control tasks in automated production and assembly, including robotics. Based on a high-precision triangulation measurement principle, the OD2000 achieves high repeatability and linearity, and detects the smallest diff erences in height, even in the micrometre range. With fi ve diff erent measuring ranges
between 25 and 1,200mm, the OD2000 can master any task, including demanding, high-speed measurements, regardless of surface, diameter, thickness or width. It can also solve challenging background suppression applications where precise distance diff erentiation or small hysteresis settings are required.
The OD2000 family’s price/performance advantages will be welcomed by production teams, system integrators and machine builders alike, working in electronics, automotive, metalworking production and consumer goods industries.
The SICK OD2000 is ready to use out-of-the-box, off ering many default settings. The on-sensor OLED display makes parameterisation and adjustment quick and easy. Alternatively, setup via SICK’s SOPAS software has been enhanced with a new graphical user interface and a QUICK SET menu. Together with direct parameterisation via IO-Link, this is especially useful when mounting in hard- to-reach locations.
Using IO-Link to access existing data also makes it easy to replace a sensor, should this be necessary, reducing machine downtime and preventing incorrect settings.
Seamless integration underlines the SICK OD2000’s all-round usefulness. The OD2000 can send both adjustable analogue (mA/V) and digital output signals. Smart point-to-point communication for Industry 4.0 integrations is enabled via the IO- Link interface, which also means signal transmission and power supply can use a single cable.
