Compact SICK Sensor Is Set to Revolutionise
Condition Monitoring

The SICK MPB (Multi Physics Box) gives continuous condition-based monitoring of, motors, pumps, conveyor systems or fans etc., it's the ideal solution for your operation!

Sick MPB

Measuring vibration, shock, and temperature, the SICK MPB indicates potential faults and machine failures. This smart little sensor easily be integrated into your existing machine or system with IO-Link or a simple alarm-based switching signal. Whether you're on-site or connecting with a Cloud Service, The Multi Physics Box will help to avoid unplanned downtime and lower your costs.

At a Glance:

  • 3-axis vibration (± 8g) and shock detection (up to 200g) via MEMS elements
  • Contact temperature measurement -40°C to +80°C
  • Configurable thresholds
  • Vibration monitoring in time and frequency domain
  • Vibration limit values according to ISO 10816-3
  • Compact stainless-steel housing up to IP68
  • LED status display
  • Switching output as alarm and IO-Link
     

Greater Transparency, Less Machine Downtime

The Multi Physics Box allows Condition Monitoring for motors, pumps, conveyor belts or fans. Measured values for temperature, vibration, and shock give an indication of defective processes that can lead to machine or system failures. Based on the sensor data, potential faults can be detected before they cause a problem and maintenance work can be planned. The result: cost savings due to less unplanned downtime.

Cost efficient condition based monitoring: The Multi Physics Box makes it easy to increase machine running times, plan maintenance work independent of status, reducing overall costs.

Measuring several different values creates a more reliable
data foundation for Condition Monitoring.

Sick MPB sensor

Multi Physics Box can be used as a standalone sensor, or integrated into a complete system.

The system status can be easily monitored enabling maintenance work to be planned reliably.

Your Benefits:

  • Reduce failures and operating costs using precise condition data
  • Intuitive data interpretation thanks to pre-processed values even in the frequency domain
  • Can be adapted by means of configurable thresholds values for vibration, shock & temperature values
  • Simple parameterisation and visualisation via SOPAS Engineering Tool
  • Easy installation via magnetic plate or screw connection
  • High operational safety due to rugged stainless-steel housing
     

Easy Parameter Evaluation with a High Data Quality

Multi Physics Box makes data interpretation easy. The sensor detects, for example, vibrations via a MEMS element and processes them directly according to the configuration. The final data output delivers indicative values that are significantly easier to interpret than the actual raw data. A multi-stage alert (according to ISO 10816-3) can be implemented when monitoring vibration thresholds.
