The SICK MICS3-ABAZ40ZA1P01 is a compact retro-reflective sensor with background suppression. It detects objects by reflecting light off a reflector and features a fixed 40 mm sensing range. The built-in background suppression function ensures reliable detection of objects within the set range while ignoring any background interference. Its miniature housing and IP67 protection make it ideal for space-constrained applications in automation, packaging, and material handling.
