SICK is a German manufacturer of intelligent sensors and sensor solutions, founded in 1946 by Dr. Erwin Sick in Waldkirch. With more than 70 years of expertise and a global presence, SICK is a leading supplier of intelligent sensor solutions for factory automation, logistics automation and process automation.
From photoelectric sensors, encoders and proximity sensors to safety systems, vision sensors, laser scanners and ultrasonic sensors, SICK delivers a complete portfolio of intelligent sensor technology trusted by the automotive, electronics, packaging and logistics industries worldwide.
Founded in 1946 in Waldkirch by Dr. Erwin Sick, SICK combines decades of sensing innovation with a global leadership position in intelligent sensor technology.
SICK is a world leader in industrial safety systems, delivering light curtains, safety switches and controllers that protect people and machines in every automation environment.
From photoelectric and proximity sensors to encoders, vision, laser scanners and ultrasonic sensing, SICK covers every detection task across factory and logistics automation.
Through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse sensors with background suppression. Examples: WT24-2R250 background suppression diffuse sensor with IP69K die-cast zinc housing, and WT24-2B470 photoelectric proximity sensor.
Incremental rotary encoders with programmable resolution. Example: DFS60 incremental encoder with up to 16-bit resolution for precise position and speed feedback in motion control.
Inductive proximity switches. Example: IME12 inductive proximity sensor for reliable metal detection and position sensing in machine tools and automation.
2D LiDAR laser scanners and vision sensors for area detection and measurement. Example: TiM781 laser scanner for 2D area scanning in logistics and mobile automation.
Safety light curtains, safety switches, controllers and safe encoders for machine and personnel protection, supporting functional safety and global machine safety standards.
Ultrasonic sensors for non-contact distance and level measurement, detecting objects regardless of color, transparency or surface finish in demanding environments.
