Advantages

Flexible automation

Safety light curtains from SICK stand for the reliable protection of people. They are particularly well-suited for monitoring hazardous areas, access points and hazardous points, and increase machine availability through a wide range of functions – for a consistently high level of protection for your workers without sacrificing productivity and efficiency.

Product recommendation deTec

Smart Box Detection Smart Box Detection reliably detects rectangular objects. For the safety of your workers, the protective field of the deTec4 safety light curtain situated above the passing object remains active at all times.
Smart presence detection The smart presence detection function prevents people from being in the hazardous area without being noticed. Randomly falling objects are identified as such and the production process is not interrupted - this means high machine availability.

High availability through intelligent safety

The safety light curtains from SICK help increase productivity with innovative technology and an intelligent device concept. Advanced functions ensure permanently high availability of your machines and plants. The focus is always on one thing – protecting your workers.
Safe functions

When external influences have no effect

Dust, dirt, water, cleaning agents and explosive atmospheres – in their areas of application, safety light curtains must withstand many influences. With enclosure ratings IP65, IP67, IP69K and with rugged housing materials and tightness, they are ideally equipped for this. This means they also meet the high hygiene standards in food production.
Absolutely leak-free

Safety light curtains are quick to clean and have long service lives. Enclosure rating IP69K stands for effective leak tightness to prevent penetration of damaging influences such as dirt, dust and water into the sensor housing.

Product recommendation deTec

Explosive load capabilities

Special environments, such as explosion-hazardous areas, require rugged and reliable explosion-proof enclosures in accordance with international safety standards. For this purpose, SICK offers safety light curtains that meet the requirements of ATEX device categories 3GD and 2GD.

Product recommendation deTec

Impressive design

Thanks to their material resistance and easy-to-clean housing, the variants with stainless-steel housing ensure high machine availability and production quality in hygienic areas.

Product recommendation TWINOX4

Make clever combinations with mirror columns and device columns

Mirror and device columns are used where safety light curtains reach their limits in terms of mounting options and device protection. Device columns combined with mirror columns for beam deflection are the ideal solution for multi-sided protection in machining centers or at material locks with just one sensor pair. They combine a compact and rugged design with very high stability. In addition, they are universally applicable and do not require additional wiring.
