The SICK MICS3-AAAZ55BZ1 is a compact background suppression (BGS) photoelectric sensor designed for precise object detection within short ranges. It uses a focused red light beam to measure distance to the target, enabling reliable detection regardless of object color, reflectivity, or material. Its miniature size makes it ideal for space-constrained applications in robotics, automation, and machinery.
