The SICK LUT3-810 (Part No. 1012867) is a compact and versatile luminescence sensor designed to deliver high-performance detection of fluorescent or luminescent targets in modern automation environments. By utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light, the LUT3-810 can detect marks, adhesives, labels, and contrast points that may be invisible to the human eye or undetectable by standard optical sensors. This makes it particularly effective in industries such as packaging, printing, labeling, and quality assurance, where precision detection of luminescent materials is a critical part of production control.

At the core of the LUT3-810’s capabilities is its highly sensitive UV-based detection system. The sensor can identify even the faintest luminescent responses across a wide variety of materials, ensuring reliable operation regardless of background color, material composition, or reflectivity. This versatility allows it to handle tasks such as detecting invisible registration marks on packaging film, verifying the presence of labels, or ensuring correct adhesive placement during high-speed production.

Speed is another defining feature of the LUT3-810. With a switching frequency of up to 6 kHz and a response time of just 80 microseconds, it delivers exceptional performance in fast-moving production lines. Whether the application involves rapid packaging machinery, label applicators, or printing presses, this sensor ensures accurate and repeatable detection at full operating speeds, minimizing errors and downtime.

User-friendly operation is achieved through simple teach-in functions. The LUT3-810 allows operators to perform one-button teach-in adjustments directly on the device, ensuring quick setup even in complex production lines. Additionally, fine-tuning options provide flexibility to adapt to different target materials, background conditions, or application-specific requirements. This reduces setup time and ensures optimal sensor performance with minimal operator training.

Durability and reliability are built into the LUT3-810’s design. Its compact housing makes it easy to integrate into tight machine spaces, while the IP67 protection rating ensures resistance to dust, moisture, and other contaminants commonly found in industrial environments. With its rugged construction, the LUT3-810 is designed for long service life and consistent performance, even under challenging conditions.

In summary, the SICK LUT3-810 delivers a unique combination of UV-based luminescent detection, ultra-fast response, user-friendly setup, and industrial-grade durability. It is ideally suited for applications where traditional optical sensors fall short, particularly in packaging, labeling, printing, and material handling processes. By ensuring accurate detection of luminescent marks and materials, it helps manufacturers achieve higher efficiency, improved quality control, and reduced error rates in high-demand automation environments.
