Sick Glare optical sensor for glossy surfaces

The Glare sensor is specially designed to recognise and differentiate objects on the basis of their gloss in order to control production processes. It analyses the spatial distribution of reflected light using Delta-S technology, which allows the sensor to determine the gloss level of flat object surfaces and to differentiate between objects of differing gloss levels.

The measurement result is transmitted to the process controls either via two digital switching outputs or IO-Link. Several operating modes are available, making the Glare sensor suitable for a range of different applications. The combination of intelligent signal evaluation algorithms, the multisensor arrangement and sensitivity adjustments ensure increased operational safety in industrial applications.

The Glare’s IO-Link interface enables the sensor to be integrated into the machine controller, featuring automatic, process-oriented configuration and online diagnostics.
