SICK UC4-13341 UC4 Ultrasonic Sensor

Description

UC4-13341 is a SICK UC4 ultrasonic sensor (part no. 6034669) that measures distance to an object by timing a sound pulse and switches or reports when the object is in range. The catalogue summary lists: communication interface: -; operating range, limiting range: 13 mm … 150 mm, 250 mm; connection type: Male connector, M8, 3-pin; sending axis: Straight; response time: 24 ms.

UC4-13341: function, principle and typical use

An ultrasonic sensor emits short bursts of sound above the audible range and measures the time until the echo returns. Because the principle depends on reflection of sound rather than light, it is largely indifferent to colour, gloss and transparency.

Clear film, glass, liquids, and dark or shiny parts all return an echo, which makes ultrasonic sensors a common choice for level and distance in tanks, hoppers and on conveyors. Several ultrasonic sensors mounted close together can interfere with each other.

About brand

SICK is the German maker of industrial sensors: photoelectric and proximity sensors, safety laser scanners and light curtains, encoders, distance sensors, code readers and gas analysers. Erwin Sick, an optics engineer, founded it in Munich in 1946, and in 1952 it introduced its first marketable accident-prevention light curtain, which protected press operators by stopping the machine when a hand broke the light beam. The company moved to Waldkirch in the Black Forest in 1956 and is still headquartered there. It is a privately held company, and has been an Aktiengesellschaft (AG) since 1996.

SICK company profile

Ownership Privately held; after the founder's death in 1988 his widow Gisela Sick became the main shareholder. Legal form SICK AG since 1996
Size More than 12,000 employees and group revenue of about EUR 2.3 billion (company figures for 2023)
First breakthrough Accident-prevention light curtain for presses, shown in Hanover in 1952
International growth First foreign subsidiary in France in 1972, United States in 1976; today sales and service companies worldwide
Product families Photoelectric, inductive, capacitive, magnetic and ultrasonic sensors; safety laser scanners, light curtains, safety controllers and relays; encoders and motor feedback systems; distance sensors and LiDAR; barcode and 2D code readers and machine vision; gas analysers, dust and flow measurement for process and emissions monitoring

Milestones

  • 1946: Erwin Sick receives a licence to run his engineering firm in Munich.
  • 1952: The first marketable accident-prevention light curtain is presented in Hanover and goes into series production.
  • 1956: The company moves to Waldkirch with 25 employees.
  • 1972 and 1976: Subsidiaries are founded in France and the United States.
  • 1996: SICK becomes an Aktiengesellschaft.
  • Today: Sensors for factory and logistics automation, machine safety and process analysis, with a large share of revenue outside Germany.

Choosing a SICK sensor

For object detection, the sensing principle comes first. A retro-reflective sensor (WL series) sends light to a reflector and switches when an object breaks the beam; it is reliable over long distances and easy to align. A sensor with background suppression (WTB series) detects an object at a set distance and ignores what is behind it, which suits conveyors with shiny or dark backgrounds. A through-beam pair (WS/WE) gives the longest range and the highest reliability in dust. For transparent bottles and film, use a model built for transparent objects (for example WL12G-3B or WL150-P420). The digits in the code also matter: "P" usually means a PNP output and "N" NPN, and the last digits set the connector or cable. For machine guarding, a safety laser scanner such as nanoScan3 or microScan3 protects an area, while a safety controller such as Flexi Soft combines several safety devices.

Where SICK products are used

In Oman and the GCC, SICK sensors are used in packaging and bottling lines, food and beverage plants, logistics and airport baggage handling, cement and steel plants, ports and cranes, automated warehouses, and on machines built by European OEMs. SICK safety scanners guard robots and automated guided vehicles, and its encoders give position feedback on motors, hoists and conveyors.

Ordering SICK products: what we need

Send the type code and the 7-digit SICK part number from the label (for example WTB12-3P2431 together with its part number). For a replacement sensor, add the output (PNP or NPN), connection (M8, M12 or cable) and sensing distance. For encoders, add the interface (incremental, SSI, PROFIBUS, PROFINET), resolution and shaft type. For safety scanners, tell us the model and whether the existing configuration needs to be kept.
