In 1946 the optics engineer Dr. Erwin Sick recognized the potential of photoelectrics and founded our company. SICK Optic-Electronic, Inc. has been the pioneer in industrial sensors and controls for over 50 years because we build sensors that are stronger, smarter and better. Over 350 patents in industrial sensors, safety controls and bar code scanners underscore our position at the forefront of sensing technology. SICK Industrial Sensors reliably count, sort, inspect, measure, recognize and verify the position, size and overall shape of objects. Contrast sensors recognize differences in material brightness and color.
Luminescent sensors recognize fluorescent markings, labels, threads, lubricants and adhesives.
Color sensors identify and differentiate objects by color. The W.2000's rugged construction and reliability make it ideal for harsh environments and even cold storage applications. The DME 3000 in both reflex and proximity versions is a welcome addition to distance measuring. SICK's line of barrel sensors has undergone a rapid expansion, with the V.12 series in DC and the V.18 series in both DC and AC versions now available. Optic electronic sensors and systems are essential components in nearly all branches of the manufacturing and processing industries.
