SICK has been blazing a trail in the field of opto-electronics for decades and is currently the technological and market leader in many areas of industrial sensors. In recent years, SICK has transferred its sensor knowledge from the field of opto-electronics to inductive proximity sensors. Today, it offers a broad portfolio of products serving the needs of this specialist area. These sensors are in use worldwide,  for example in a pumped storage plant in China.

Millions of inductive sensors are currently in use in virtually all conceivable industries. They detect metal objects without contact, and are characterized by a long service life and optimum resistance to icy cold and extreme heat alike. With the latest ASIC technology, sensors from SICK offer the ultimate in precision and reliability - from cylindrical or rectangular standard sensors with single, double, or triple operating distance to special sensors for use in the food sector or in harsh environments.
