Image-Based Code Readers
-
Image-based code readers combine performance and flexibility. In demanding applications, they read a variety of code types such as 1D or 2D codes, DPM codes and miniature codes. The cameras also identify colored and damaged codes, regardless of the marking method and surface. This ensures very good read rates, even at high speeds and with changing rotational positions of the codes.

RFID
-
RFID technology makes reliable, radio-based identification possible without visual contact. Even in harsh ambient conditions, dozens of transponders can be read and written to simultaneously – from up to 10 m away with RAIN UHF devices. This makes RFID read/write devices the ideal solution wherever process-relevant data needs to be collected seamlessly and conveniently.

Product
Contrast Sensors
-
Contrast sensors are primarily used in packaging/printing machines for the detection of printed or control marks. SICK's line of KT contrast sensors detects even the smallest contrasts at the highest speeds, such as print marks on foils or packaging. They detect minute grayscale variations between the mark and the background on matte, shiny or transparent surfaces. A variety of device types with different contrast resolution methods and teach-in versions are available to meet wide-ranging requirements.

Product
Array Sensors
-
Array sensors use closely spaced beams of light to detect even the slightest differences in gray scale between the target and the background within their field-of-view. They are ideal for edge and diameter detection as well as detecting widths and gaps. SICK’s array sensors offer industry-leading reproducibility, in addition to compact, rugged metal housings for use in highly restricted or harsh environments.

Incremental Encoders
-
Versatile, compact and flexible – Incremental encodersIncremental encoders are used when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required. These encoders provide information about the position, angle and number of revolutions. The number of lines per revolution determines the resolution. The current position can be determined by counting these pulses from a reference point. Upon activating the machine, a reference run to the reference point is required to determine the absolute position of the encoder.
