Cylinder sensors with precise switching point for T-slot
The MZT8 cylinder sensor from SICK is the flexible solution for detecting the piston position in pneumatic actuators. The sensor can be inserted into cylinders very easily and, with the screw-and-washer assembly, tightened with just a quarter turn of a slotted screwdriver or hex key.

The sure way to detect any object
The H18 Sure Sense product family is designed to detect virtually any object in any environment. Whether objects are very simple or extremely complicated – for example, black, shiny, transparent, or multi-colored objects – the H18 Sure Sense can detect them with ease.

Magnetic proximity sensors in a rectangular housing
The MQB magnetic proximity sensors reliably detect permanent magnets through non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, plastic or wood. The MQB sensors feature a square, compact plastic housing that makes them easy to install.

Identification sensor for reading magnetic-coded tags
The MIS is a magnetic-coded identification sensor that is used to identify magnetic-coded tags. The MIS is used in conjunction with magnetic-coded tags and optionally a mounting bracket from SICK. The tag number can either be output via an analog voltage, a current output or via IO-Link.

Economic and non-contact angle measurement and position detection
The MAS magnetic angle sensor is an especially economical solution for angle measurement and position detection. Its space-saving, two-part design consisting of magnet and sensor ensures high flexibility in use.

The sensor for magnetic line guidance
The MLS is a magnetic line guidance sensor for navigating automated guided vehicles and carts. Navigation is done by aligning the sensor to the center of the magnetic lane. The sensor reliably differentiates between up to three lanes.

NAMUR magnetic proximity sensors in a cylindrical housing for explosive areas
MM NAMUR magnetic proximity sensors provide large operating distances that can reliably detect magnetic objects.

Magnetic proximity sensors in common M8, M12, and M18 cylindrical housing
MM magnetic proximity sensors provide long sensing ranges that can reliably detect magnetic objects. Magnetic proximity sensors are resistant to dust, heat, vibrations and other harsh environments.

Great flexibility in a small housing
Move to a position with pinpoint accuracy: The OLM100 enables quick ramp-up and ramp-down times, optimizing work processes. Fast travel speeds, high repeatability, and fast output rates make the OLM100 ideal for many applications, such as electrical overhead conveyors, rotating tables, and transport skids.

High performance in a small housing
The OLM100 Hi is a high performance variant of the well-known OLM100. The strengths of the OLM100 Hi include very high travel speeds, extremely precise repeatability, and an SSI interface for direct feedback into drive.

Innovative positioning with fieldbus interfaces
Linear measurement sensors from SICK can determine an accurate position on product travel paths of up to 10 km in length – along a straight line or curve. The OLM200 combines extreme precision and high travel speeds with fieldbus interfaces.

Easily and reliably detecting double films
Detecting double layers in film stack processes, e.g. in battery production, is a huge challenge. The new IDF double film sensors reliably detect whether a suction gripper has picked up one or several films and ensure that the unwanted double film is immediately sorted out.

The simple and intelligent way of speed monitoring
The SAM sensor is the simple and intelligent way of speed monitoring with an additional IO-Link interface. SAM can be used as a classic speed monitor or innovative acceleration monitor with a revolutionary speed-independent monitoring function.

The economic standard for use in industrial environments
The IQE sensors are the economic standard for all types of automation task. They combine compact design with precise detection, high reliability, and a good price-performance ratio.

High-pressure-resistant sensors for hydraulic applications
The inductive, high-pressure-resistant IMP sensors are perfectly suited for the query of end positions in hydraulic cylinders.

Flat rectangular housings for use in industrial environments
When space is tight, the flat design of the IQV sensors are the best choice. Thanks to a low height, they can be easily integrated into applications where space is critical and allow a high degree of freedom when it comes to machine design.

NAMUR sensors for explosive zones
Safe detection in ATEX areas. The IMN sensors are available for this due to their high quality and reliability. No whether in category 1G or 2G, the NAMUR sensors from SICK are perfectly suited for explosion-hazardous areas.

Four times the switching capability with inductive intelligence
The inductive, intelligent, and, thanks to IO-Link 1.1, communication-enabled IMC proximity sensors offer a whole host of new options to make handling applications easier and more reliable in every industry.

The economical standard for use in industrial environments
SICK’s inductive sensors offer precise detection, less downtime, and a long service life. The IMW inductive sensors pack high technology into the smallest of spaces. The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after the end of the manufacturing process.

Reduction factor 1 sensors for welding applications
The IMR inductive proximity sensors are not the least bothered by magnetic interference fields or weld spatter, such as arise in resistance welding applications.

Rugged full metal sensors for use in challenging applications
In contrast to conventional proximity sensors, whose sensing face consists of plastic, the IMI inductive proximity sensors have a closed housing made completely of stainless steel.

Miniature sensors for industrial applications
Minimal space requirements paired with maximum performance characterize the IMM inductive proximity sensors. They allow the highest level of miniaturization without compromise. Thanks to the 3-fold sensing range up to 6 mm, IMM devices detect objects from a greater distance than before.

Rugged sensors for use in mobile machines
The IMS inductive proximity sensors combine tried-and-tested, rugged SICK mechanics with advanced electronics. With the E1 type approval by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, the sensors are especially well-suited for use in mobile machines.

The simply outstanding all-rounder
