SICK Safety 

Opto-electronic sensing devices safeguard machine access and prevent injuries related to hazardous machine motion. These safety solutions are commonly used as point-of-operation, area or perimeter safeguards. The ultimate goals are preventing access to the hazard, eliminating the hazard before access is attained, and preventing the unintended operation of a machine.

From simple to complex automation applications, SICK's safety relays, controllers and network solutions enable you to easily integrate safety-rated control into your machines and systems. Our network solutions provide off-the-shelf control and connectivity.

Safety managers and safety decision-makers face a complex array of laws, regulations, requirements and directives in order to keep workers and machines safe. It can be difficult to keep it all straight. Count on the safety experts at SICK to help you stay up to date and informed about industrial safety. Let SICK help you develop a safety culture within your organization – on existing machinery and with the planning and procurement of new equipment.

Single-beam photoelectric safety switches, safety command devices and non-contact safety switches are used for a range of safety applications, such as door monitoring on a machine, emergency stops, and position monitoring.

The configuration software CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software) allows project planning, commissioning, configuration and diagnostics of the industrial safety systems by SICK.

In today’s global economy, safety regulations not only impact machines used in North America… but also in Asia, Australia, and Europe. For example, new European safety regulations that took effect at the end of 2009 have an impact on global standards. From a basic safety overview to expert level TÜV certification, SICK has created a seminar to meet your needs.
