New Products offered by SICK include:

BCG EcoLine Wire Draw Encoder – An economical solution for length/distance measurement applications by providing a scalable analog output. An easy-to-use pushbutton teach function allows users to configure the unit for different lengths. Its thin, compact housing makes it ideal for applications with limited installation space. It provides precise measurements for automated guided vehicles, storage and conveying systems, presses, handling systems, medical applications, and many other industries.

ICR845-2L Flex Lens Image Code Reader – This is a vision-based image code reader that provides exceptional reading and decoding performance at long ranges.  The large field of view and depth of field provide high read rates regardless of target position.  Plus, live image capture and analysis capabilities improve productivity and help troubleshoot problems.

Also, a new Inspector variant with UV illumination is now available.  The Inspector and its detection algorithms is well suited for the detection of chips and cracks in solar wafers due to its UV light source and UV filter since the UV light provides excellent contrast between the dark belt and high absorbing blue wafers.
