Sick LUTM luminescence sensor

Click2Contact

The SICK LUTM luminescence sensor features a miniature housing combined with an IO-Link function. The sensor is suitable for all applications where fluorescent marks need to be detected in confined spaces.

Enhanced system sensitivity enables the sensor to detect the relevant marks even when the level of luminescence is low.

This mini sensor can be set using a straightforward teach-in method. The IO-Link function enables enhanced diagnostics and visualisation of sensor parameters as well as rapid format changes. An increased switching frequency of up to 6 kHz makes the sensor suitable for high machine production capacities.

The technology is used in applications such as the presence monitoring of labels and package inserts in the pharmaceutical industry, detection of invisible marks in the luxury segment of the food and beverage industry and the detection of luminescent marks for positioning of labels in packaging.
