2025 was a big year for SICK, with a series of product launches that push the boundaries of precision, connectivity and reliability across industrial automation. From next generation encoders and proximity sensors to smart gateways and industrial cameras, these new solutions are designed to tackle real world challenges in modern production environments. Below, we round up some of the key SICK product launches from 2025, highlighting what makes each one stand out and where they deliver the most value.
ANS/ANM58 PROFINET Absolute Encoder
The ANS/ANM58 PROFINET absolute encoder delivers ultra precise position feedback with real time PROFINET IRT communication for demanding motion control applications. With resolutions up to 34 bits, it provides accurate position, speed and displacement data for high-performance multi axis systems. Compact and configurable, it supports single turn and multiturn variants, multiple mounting options, and built in diagnostics to enable predictive maintenance and reduce downtime.
G6S Photoelectric Sensors
The G6S photoelectric sensor range offers reliable object detection across a wide range of applications, delivering stable performance regardless of object colour or background. Designed for easy installation and commissioning, it is fully backward compatible with the existing G6 range, making upgrades simple and cost effective. Ideal for warehouse automation, packaging, printing and electronics manufacturing, the G6S combines robustness, ease of use and strong price to performance.
IMX Inductive Proximity Sensors
IMX inductive proximity sensors set a new standard with sensing distances up to four times greater than conventional inductive sensors, reaching up to 50 mm. This extended range enables new applications while reducing mechanical wear and damage. Despite the increased sensing distance, IMX sensors retain a compact, rugged design, making them ideal for harsh environments in mobile automation, automotive production, logistics and machine building.
OD200 Laser Distance Sensor
The OD200 is a compact laser distance sensor designed for highly accurate short-range measurements, even on dark, shiny or reflective surfaces. With a fast measurement rate of up to 3 kHz and repeatability down to 2 µm, it delivers stable results in dynamic processes. Easy to commission and available with IO-Link, analogue and switching outputs, it is ideal for quality control and precision measurement tasks.
PBST Pressure Sensor
The PBST pressure sensor combines precise pressure measurement, switching outputs and IO-Link communication in a compact stainless-steel housing. Covering a wide range from –1 to 600 bars, it features a durable ceramic measuring cell and an integrated colour touchscreen for fast configuration and clear visual monitoring. With IP68 protection and flexible signal outputs, it is ideal for hydraulic, pneumatic and Industry 4.0 applications.
sensingCam SEC 100 Streaming Camera
The sensingCam SEC 100 is a cost-effective industrial streaming camera that provides live visibility into critical or hard to access process areas. In addition to continuous live streaming, it supports snapshot and event recording to aid fault analysis and quality documentation. Used across packaging, logistics, automotive and pharmaceuticals, it improves process transparency, speeds up troubleshooting and enhances overall operational reliability.
SIG300 IO-Link Master and Smart Gateway
The SIG300 IO-Link Master and smart gateway enables decentralised data processing at the edge, reducing PLC load and simplifying automation architectures. With an integrated logic editor and support for PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, it integrates easily into existing systems. Built-in JSON-REST API and MQTT connectivity allow seamless OT to IT data exchange for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and process optimisation.
W12NextGen Photoelectric Sensors
The W12NextGen photoelectric sensor range enhances detection performance with advanced processing power, Hybrid LED technology and Spot Size Recognition. It reliably detects dark, shiny or transparent objects, even in challenging environments. Easy to commission using the BluePilot interface and IO-Link, it offers intelligent features such as AutoAdapt and a digital twin, making it ideal for packaging, material handling and machine building applications.
