Overview
Slim, intelligent, and intuitive to operate – a universal solution for label detection.
The innovative, small UFS fork sensor from SICK allows space-saving installation, for example directly on the dispensing edge of a labeling machine. Thanks to ultrasonic technology, the UFS reliably detects a variety of labels on carrier material – regardless of their color, pattern, marking, transparency level, and gloss level. It flawlessly detects even very small label gaps of just 1 mm in size. And the display shows its actual operating reserve at a glance.
The IO-Link communication interface also opens up numerous possibilities such as fine adjustment, analyses, and monitoring, e.g., for automatic reporting of a web tear, as well as teach-in and sensor configuration during the running process.
At a glance
- Small housing with especially slim lower flange (5.5 mm high)
- Detects numerous labels and films – even transparent materials
- Detects label separations of 1 mm and greater
- Display shows teach-in quality and operating reserve
- Intelligent sensor with integrated IO-Link interface
Your benefits
- Space-saving installation thanks to the slim housing
- High process accuracy because belt flutter is minimized when installed on the dispensing edge
- High process reliability through ultrasonic technology that prevents false detections due to gloss or ambient light
- Reduction in waste because the detection of very small separations (1 mm or higher) allows more labels to fit on the carrier material
- Fast and easy commissioning through direct feedback on the quality of the teach-in or run via a bar graph
- Reduces downtimes because teach-in and adjustments can be performed during the running process via IO-Link
