OD Mini Short Range Distance Sensors

Simple, precise, and economic solution
for measuring tasks

The new OD Mini short range distance sensor from SICK is one of the world's smallest displacement sensors with display and control elements. Its measurement accuracy in the μm range, high-quality fittings, compact size and low weight are impressive.

These sensors are equipped with the latest CMOS receiver technology for precise measurement, regardless of the brightness and color of the surface material. The integrated amplifier unit enables the OD Mini to work on a stand-alone basis. Cabling to an external amplifier unit is no longer an issue. The OD Mini is simple to configure due to its intuitive design and display with four status LEDs.

Compact, robust housing
Integrated amplifier unit
Digital, analog and serial interface available
Simple teach-in using display or external teaching input
Three measuring ranges from 10 mm to 150 mm

Empowering Us in Many Forms

WHITE PAPER: The Realm of Collaborative Robots

No area of industrial robotics has attracted more fanfare than human-robot collaboration. You can't deny the compelling nature of collaborative robots. They have an innate ability to both fascinate and empower us humans.

With the hype come misconceptions. This paper will try to dispel these myths, while tackling the growing debate over safety. It also explores the latest developments in this domain and see how researchers on two continents are helping to shape our factories of the future.
