TURCK's BIMUNR Sensor
TURCK’s line of magnetic cylinder position sensors has been expanded to include the BIM-UNR, a miniature sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions of 2.9 x 4.6 x 18 mm make the BIM-UNR one of the most compact sensors on the market.

The sensor can be inserted into a C-groove from the top rather than from the side, simplifying installation. On the sensor’s side is a built-in tab that keeps the sensor in place to facilitate one-handed mounting. The BIM-UNR sensor also incorporates a 1.5 mm hexagon mounting screw that requires only a quarter-turn to securely mount the sensor. As this mounting screw is located near the cable exit, the sensor remains fastened even if the cable is pulled.

Since the BIM-UNR sensor is designed to fit inside the C-groove, it is protected from mechanical damage. In addition, the sensor’s active sensing element is located at the bottom of the groove "as close to the magnet as possible" providing reliable detection, especially on short-stroke cylinders. BIM-UNR sensors are also highly immune to EMC interference in accordance with EN 60947-5-2.

SICK CLV640 and CLV650
The SICK CLV650 and CLV640 bar code scanners add more flexibility to SICK’s CLV600 family of powerful, flexible and easy-touse 1D bar code scanners. With a simple setup process, exceptional reading performance and flexible data handling capabilities, these compact scanners provide high-performance bar code reading capabilities for material handling, logistics, and food and beverage applications. A key feature of the CLV6xx series scanner is the onboard EtherNet technology.The CLV650 and CLV640 include proprietary SMART (SICK’s Modular Advanced Recognition Technology) code reconstruction algorithms and high-performance microprocessors, enabling them to read damaged and dirty bar codes. The CLV650’s autofocus feature, distance measurement technology and expertly engineered optics give it a competitive advantage in applications where large depth of field (DOF) and space are at a premium. In addition, the CLV640 is a cost-effective option for reading high density codes and for providing increased DOF in applications requiring an external input to change the focus position.
  • Extremely high depth of fields due to auto focus function in real time
  • Integrated function keys, e.g. for starting auto-setup or evaluating reading quality
  • CAN (CSN and CANopen), Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet IP (for connection type "Ethernet") on board
  • Increased SMART code reconstruction for precisely determining and decoding damaged, badly printed or half-covered bar codes
  • Highly flexible sorting and filter functions
  • Integrated web server for diagnostics and sending E-mails
  • Configuration with SOPAS, the parameterisation tool for all new SICK products
  • Integrated LED bar graph
  • The most compact scanner of its class
  • Ideal for handling and warehousing systems
  • Oscillating mirror version also available
