Everything is easier with the right tools. The same is true for packaging lines. When the application is simple, the solution shouldn't be complicated. That’s why every major packaging machine builder and end user in the world uses sensing solutions from SICK, proving we set the standard for standard sensors.
- Fast delivery
- On-site consultation with packaging expert
- Easy integration
- More reliable detection
From food processing to end of line cartoning, SICK has a wide range of standard photoelectric sensors to detect the position of objects in packaging applications. Lack of space is no problem when it comes to integrating SICK's photoelectric sensors into machines and lines. Even SICK's standard line of photoelectric sensors have precise optics and advanced technology - all at below standard pricing. View the W15 Sensors Data Sheet.
- Product detection on a conveyor
- Regulate fill level in a hopper
- Check a bottle feed in a bottle filling machine
- Monitor label roll diameter
- Check container height to ensure lids are attached correctly
Magnetic cylinder sensors are used to detect the position of pistons in pneumatic cylinders. They are attached directly to the cylinder body. SICK's magnetic cylinder sensors offer precise measurement, short response times, and non-contact operation – no wear and tear or calibration required over time.

- Control splicing knife and heat sealer on form fill and seal machine
- Trigger label applicator arm
- Gripper position detection
Inductive sensors are used in almost every area of factory automation, including packaging. They are an ideal non-contact solution for detecting metal objects, such as detecting if the correct number of cans are in a sealed box. Our standard cylindrical and rectangular sensors offer a long operating life and the optimum precision and reliability using the most modern ASIC technology. View the IME Sensors Data Sheet.
