As the magazine transports the glass to different operations, the handling process adds risk to ever more valuable modules. A SICK integrated environment controls the risks with stable and cost-effective solutions. Here, an OD Value laser short range distance sensor indexes the panels, and reports their size and orientation. The IME12 inductive proximity sensor is responsible for sensing the beginning and end positions of the magazine.

The OD Value allows for an easy, precise and economical solution of measuring tasks. It detects even small deviations in dimension, shape, position or excentricity directly in the machine, contactless, precise and during running operation. OD Value convinces with its main features: reliable, user-friendly, effective, universal and efficient. The ideal solution for everyone, who needs to check and verify quality regulary and directly in the process.

Features:

  • Several measurement ranges from 26 mm to 34 mm to 100 mm to 500 mm
  • CMOS receiving element for measurement independent of surface
  • Easy, LED-based user and teach-in concept
  • Wide range of models and a wide range of standard interfaces
  • Laser technology for precise measurement of very small objects
  • Compact stand-alone device
  • Excellent price-performance ratio

SICK's inductive sensors offer precise detection, less downtime and a long service life. The inductive IME sensors pack high technology into the smallest of spaces. The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after the end of the manufacturing process. The saving of values in the ASIC ensures highly precise switching points and very high repeatability of values – for any number of production runs. IM sensors are completely encapsulated with hotmelt molding, which greatly increases shock and vibration resistance. The customer benefits from high positioning accuracy in the machine and long-term reliability.

Features:

  • Types: M8 to M30
  • Extended sensing ranges: 1.5 mm to 38 mm
  • Electrical configuration: DC 3-/4-wire, DC 2-wire
  • Enclosure rating: IP 67
  • Temperature range: –25 °C to +75 °C
  • Nickel-plated brass housing; plastic sensing face
