SAFEST UNDER HIGH PRESSURE WHEN USING IP69K
Safety and quality are paramount in the production and processing of food: Supply contaminated or inedible goods, and you will be faced with considerable financial losses and damage to your reputation. That is why hygienic packaging and cleaning processes as well as a safe machine design are so important in the food industry.
deTec IP69K and deTem IP69K: The introduction of the deTec safety light curtains and the deTem multiple light beam safety devices has made protecting hazardous points and access points easier than ever. All of our application knowledge has been packed into the optimized protective housing with enclosure rating IP69K, resulting in a high degree of productivity.
For our newest generation of safety light curtains and multiple light beam safety devices with enclosure rating IP69K, we did not only rethink the design. We also kept in mind the wish for more flexibility in the application. You can see this in a variety of different applications.
VERSATILE APPLICATION - SAFETY AT ALL TIMES



A safe and rewarding investment



Increased productivity thanks to long service life and high durability

READY FOR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Safety light curtains make a crucial contribution to the effective protection of people and working environments. When combined with SICK’s deTec variants, the field of application of these devices can be expanded to include industries that require explosion protection measures and compliance with applicable standards.
Safety, even in extreme conditions



Safe productivity – even in explosion-hazardous areas

The rugged and reliable housing design of the 3GD variants is specially designed for use under the strict safety requirements found in explosion-hazardous areas. All devices can be cascaded, enable space-saving machine design and offer very high flexibility as there are no blind spots. A standardized connection and accessory concept saves time and money during commissioning.

The SICK devices in pressure-resistant explosion-proof enclosures are approved in accordance with ATEX, IECEx and NEC. Pre-wired and fully mounted in the housing, the complete system is also UL-certified and represents a truly outstanding product that is unique on the market up to now.
