SICK sensor SICK model SICK price

SICK sensors generally consist of 2 parts: the processing path and the processing element. The basic principle is based on the photoelectric effect, converting changes in the measured variable into changes in optical signals, and then using photoelectric components to further convert non-electrical signals into electrical signals. The photoelectric effect refers to illuminating an object with light, which can be viewed as a stream of photons with specific energy bombarding the object. At this time, the photon energy is transferred to electrons, and the entire energy of one photon is absorbed by one electron at once. After the electron receives the energy transmitted by the photon, its state changes, thereby causing the corresponding electrical effect in the illuminated object. The photoelectric effect is usually divided into 3 categories: (1) The phenomenon where electrons escape from the surface of an object under the action of light is called the external photoelectric effect, such as in phototubes and photomultiplier tubes; (2) The phenomenon where the resistivity of an object changes under the action of light is called the internal photoelectric effect, such as in photoresistors and phototransistors; (3) The phenomenon where an object generates an electromotive force in a specific direction under the action of light is called the photovoltaic effect, such as in photocells.

SICK sensor features

High-precision single-axis tilt angle sensors based on capacitive 3D-MEMS technology demonstrate excellent reliability, superior stability, and unprecedented high precision across the entire temperature range. The tilt angle sensor series is designed, produced, and tested according to the reliability and stability requirements of the automotive industry. The series of tilt angle sensors has significant load capacity and very good impact durability without requiring additional components. Tilt sensors are part of the analog acceleration sensor product family and are fully compatible with acceleration sensors. The tilt sensor can adjust the output frequency and has built-in zero adjustment. A zero adjustment button can be customized according to requirements to achieve the function of setting zero at a certain angle. This is very useful for applications measuring relative tilt angles; after use, it can return to the zero position. When using the tilt sensor in such applications, simply fix the sensor on a specific plane and use the zero button to clear the zero before measurement. The data read by the sensor thereafter represents the relative tilt angle with respect to that plane.

SICK sensor application areas

Using angle sensors to control your wheels can indirectly detect obstacles. The principle is very simple: if the motor is running but the gear is not turning, it indicates that your machine is blocked by an obstacle. This technology is very simple to use and highly effective; the only requirement is that the moving wheels must not slip on the floor (or slip too frequently), otherwise you will not be able to detect obstacles. If an idler gear connected to the motor is used, this problem can be avoided. This wheel is not driven by the motor but is driven by the movement of the device: during the rotation of the drive wheel, if the idler wheel stops, it indicates that you have hit an obstacle. In many cases, angle sensors are very useful: controlling the position of arms, heads, and other movable parts. It is worth noting that when the operating speed is too slow or too fast, RCX will be affected in terms of precise detection and counting. In fact, the problem does not lie with RCX itself, but with its operating system. If the speed exceeds its specified range, RCX will lose some data. Steve Baker has proven through experiments that a rotational speed between 50 and 300 rpm is a suitable range, within which there will be no data loss. However, in the range below 12rpm or above 1400rpm, some data loss will occur. In the ranges of 12rpm to 50rpm or 300rpm to 1400rpm, RCX may also occasionally experience data loss.
