SICK Company Profile

Non-contact and with no measuring elements or scales, it reliably determines the length, position and speed of all kinds of objects and surfaces.

Non-contact and with no measuring elements or scales, it reliably determines the length, position and speed of all kinds of objects and surfaces.

The SPEETEC is based on Class I Doppler Radar that allows for extremely accurate and repeatable speed and length measurement up to 10 meters per second and down to four micro meter resolution.

The rugged and maintenance-free SPEETEC laser surface motion sensor detects the movements of object surfaces without contact. This detection requires no scale or measuring elements. The laser Doppler effect based technology enables the SPEETEC to measure the speed, length, movement direction and position of objects on almost any surface. The non-contact measurement method used by the sensor makes it particularly suitable for applications with soft or sensitive surfaces that would be damaged by tactile measurement. The SPEETEC is also ideal for encoder applications with fast and dynamic processes that are unsuitable for encoders.
