Boost productivity with the SICK OD200—compact, precise and reliable even on reflective, dark or irregular surfaces. Fast setup, high-speed measurement and robust performance for modern industrial demands.

The SICK OD200 is a compact laser displacement sensor engineered for high-performance short-range distance measurement—even on the most challenging surfaces. Whether you're working with shiny metals, dark plastics, or textured composites, the OD200 delivers stable, repeatable, and accurate results that elevate your production quality and efficiency.

 

Why Choose the OD200?

  • Micron-level accuracy: With repeatability down to 2 µm and linearity as tight as ±10 µm, the OD200 ensures precise measurements for even the most demanding applications.
  • Surface-independent performance: Thanks to its advanced triangulation core and optimized optical system, the OD200 excels on reflective, black, and irregular surfaces—where other sensors fail.
  • High-speed measurement: Operating at up to 3 kHz, the OD200 is built for real-time inspection, small-part detection, and inline quality control in fast-paced environments.
  • Compact and robust design: Its miniature housing fits easily into tight spaces, making it ideal for integration into modern automation systems.
  • Plug-and-play setup: With IO-Link, analogue/digital outputs, and intuitive configuration via OLED display or SOPAS software, installation is fast and seamless.

 

Applications across industries

  • Automotive: Inspect die castings, carbon fiber, and precision assemblies.
  • Electronics: Detect miniature PCBAs and battery cells with speed and accuracy.
  • Consumer goods: Ensure consistent quality on glossy or textured surfaces.
  • Semiconductor and battery production: Maintain precision in environments with strict tolerances.

 

Built for the future of automation

The OD200 isn’t just a sensor—it’s a smart solution for Industry 4.0. With built-in condition monitoring and inline optimization capabilities, it helps reduce waste, prevent downtime, and supports sustainable production.

Technical highlights:

  • Measuring range: 25 mm to 160 mm
  • Laser class: 1 (safe for industrial use)
  • Interfaces: IO-Link, analogue, digital
  • Ambient light immunity: High
  • Configuration: OLED display, SOPAS ET software
