The SICK LUT3-852 (Part No. 1012871) is a state-of-the-art luminescence sensor engineered to detect fluorescent and luminescent materials with outstanding accuracy and speed. Utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light technology, it is capable of identifying targets such as adhesives, coatings, labels, or registration marks that are otherwise invisible to the human eye or beyond the capability of standard optical sensors. This makes it indispensable in industries like packaging, printing, labeling, and assembly, where precision detection ensures consistent quality and smooth production workflows.

A defining characteristic of the LUT3-852 is its high sensitivity to luminescent signals. It can pick up even faint luminescent responses on a wide variety of materials, regardless of their texture, color, or reflectivity. This ensures consistent detection of subtle indicators such as invisible registration marks on transparent film, luminescent adhesives in product assembly, or fluorescent labels applied in packaging operations.

The speed and performance of the LUT3-852 make it especially suitable for demanding automation tasks. With a switching frequency up to 6 kHz and a response time of only 80 microseconds, it delivers real-time detection for even the fastest production lines. Whether installed on conveyor systems, label applicators, or high-speed printing presses, the sensor guarantees accuracy without slowing down operations, reducing the risk of errors, and enhancing throughput.

User convenience is another strength of this sensor. Featuring a one-button teach-in function, the LUT3-852 simplifies setup and configuration, allowing operators to quickly adapt the sensor to new tasks. Its fine adjustment capabilities provide additional control, enabling it to adapt to varying luminescent intensities and complex operating environments. This adaptability ensures continuous, reliable performance, even when production conditions change frequently.

Designed for long-term use, the LUT3-852 is built into a compact and rugged housing rated IP67. This level of protection ensures resistance to dust, moisture, and contaminants, allowing it to function reliably in harsh industrial settings. Its compact design enables easy integration into existing machinery, even where installation space is limited, while its durability ensures minimal downtime and extended service life.

In conclusion, the SICK LUT3-852 combines advanced UV-based detection, ultra-fast response, user-friendly teach-in functionality, and industrial-grade durability. It is designed to handle the rigorous demands of high-speed production while delivering the precision necessary for quality control. By detecting marks and materials invisible to standard sensors, the LUT3-852 enables manufacturers to maintain productivity, reduce waste, and achieve higher quality standards across a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
