The SICK MICS3-ACAZ55PZ1P01 is a compact background suppression (BGS) photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection within short ranges. Featuring a push-button teach-in function for easy configuration, it uses a focused red light beam to accurately measure distance to targets, ensuring reliable detection regardless of object color, material, or surface characteristics. Its miniature housing and IP67 protection make it suitable for space-constrained applications in automation, robotics, and machinery.
