The SICK MPS-G is a compact, robust position sensor designed for precise detection in demanding industrial environments. With a detection range of 50 mm and a sensor head length of just 25 mm, the MPS-G offers exceptional space efficiency when installed in standard C-slot configurations. Developed specifically for handling, assembly, and robotics applications, it combines a minimal footprint with high component durability and material resilience. The sensor is engineered to protect against mechanical damage by allowing installation without interfering contours—ideal for moving parts and dynamic operations. Whether used for end position detection or process monitoring, the MPS-G delivers accurate, reliable performance across diverse industrial tasks such as gripper finger positioning, workpiece measurement, or press-fit verification.
The MPS-G leverages innovative operating concepts to adapt flexibly to varying workpiece sizes and component tolerances. It provides highly accurate position values that can be used either as analog signals or processed via IO-Link for digital switching and process data. A unique dynamic teach-in function enables the sensor to automatically adjust switching points, ensuring precise detection without manual recalibration. Additionally, the MPS-G includes diagnostic capabilities such as vibration analysis in both time and frequency domains, monitoring critical machine components like pneumatic drives. It also measures temperature, supporting consistent process quality. The system can detect parameters including traversing speed, cylinder travel, dwell times, and magnetic field strength—enabling condition monitoring for early wear detection and optimal cylinder alignment.
The MPS-G offers a detection range of 50 mm with a sensor head length of only 25 mm. It is available in two variants: one with an analog voltage output and another as an IO-Link Smart Sensor featuring three configurable digital outputs. The sensor provides highly accurate absolute position values, which can be translated into flexible switching signals based on individual application needs. Temperature measurement is integrated to monitor process conditions and maintain product quality. With its dynamic teach-in capability, the sensor autonomously adjusts switching thresholds for optimal performance across varying workpiece dimensions. The IO-Link Smart Sensor profile enables real-time data exchange, allowing access to diagnostic information such as vibration analysis and component health status.
The MPS-G is available in two configurations: a standard analog voltage output version and an IO-Link Smart Sensor with three configurable digital outputs. The flexible connection cable ensures compatibility across all mounting situations, allowing seamless integration into any system setup. With the innovative dynamic teach-in function, users can configure switching points directly from absolute position values without manual adjustment. Process data such as position, speed, dwell time, and temperature are accessible via IO-Link for advanced monitoring and control. The sensor’s compact design and compatibility with standard C-slot installations simplify integration into existing automation systems while enabling precise, adaptive responses to dynamic operational conditions.
The MPS-G is designed for reliable operation in industrial environments where mechanical stress and process variability are common. Its robust construction ensures high resistance to wear and environmental factors, making it suitable for continuous use in moving applications. The sensor’s compact design and interference-free installation provide excellent protection against mechanical damage during motion. It operates effectively under varying conditions due to its integrated temperature monitoring and diagnostic functions. While specific environmental ratings are not provided, the product is built with durable materials and optimized for handling and assembly tasks—ensuring long-term performance in demanding automation settings.
The MPS-G is ideal for applications requiring precise position detection in dynamic environments. It supports a wide range of use cases including gripper finger position monitoring, workpiece dimension measurement, and press-fit process control. Its ability to generate flexible switching signals from absolute position values makes it suitable for varying component tolerances. The sensor’s diagnostic functions enable condition monitoring of pneumatic drives, detecting potential wear or misalignment in cylinder operation. Applications such as traversing motion tracking, dwell time analysis, and magnetic field strength measurement further enhance its versatility. With its compact size, robust design, and adaptive switching capabilities, the MPS-G provides a reliable solution for nearly any detection task in assembly, handling, and robotic systems.
