Touchscreen - for faster navigation

ZTF Lāsma has been working with different SICK models in the Baltics for two decades. We can honestly say that during these years SICK products have ensured high quality and excellent reliability for our customers, resulting in increased efficiency.

Thanks to its touchscreen, the new sensor is very easy to set up and use. As the SICK W10 sensor is designed with a user-friendly interface, setting and configuring the parameters will not take much time. Its easy navigation significantly reduces the time needed to start up and run the device.

The touchscreen is as intuitive to use as any mobile phone. The touchscreen allows the sensor to be quickly customised and maintained.

Multiple SICK W10 features

• Easy to use thanks to a touchscreen.
• Option to lock the display to prevent accidental change of settings. The locking procedure is optional but recommended.
