PowerProx photoelectric sensors from SICK perform reliable detection over long sensing ranges using time-of-flight laser scanning technology with class 1 eye-safe lasers to reliably detect fast-moving objects, small and flat objects, and dark or shiny objects at sensing ranges between 5 cm and 3.8 m. As many as eight switching points can be defined via IO-Link, a standardized IO technology for communication with sensors and actuators.
PowerProx sensors are constructed with SICK’s proprietary VISTAL™ housing for durability in the harsh environmental conditions. The compact size of the sensor housing also provides flexibility in terms of machine design. With four variants—distance, speed, precision and small—the sensors can be used, among other applications, in occupied bay and clearance detection or rapid counting in the packaging industry.
