All seeing sensor

Sick believes it has set a technology milestone in sensing capability for food and drink process and packaging automation.

The new PowerProx promises unprecedented versatility to detect any object on a high speed production or bottling line with just one range of sensors.

The benefits of laser Time-of-Flight technology have been included in PowerProx’s compact housing to deliver high performance distance sensing, proximity and object detection.

A sensor in the range can be used to replace most distance and proximity sensors in a production plant. There are four sensors in the range, achieving accurate results over a distance range between 50mm and 3.8m.
