Trends & news
deTec HG
In the machine tool industry, there are strict machining requirements on the resistance of the components used to chemicals in the form of coolants, lubricants and cleaning agents. The deTec HG safety light curtains from SICK therefore have a front screen made of hardened glass. This ensures maximum reliability and a long service life even in extreme conditions, making this product even more economically efficient.
Smart sensors - information suppliers for Industry 4.0
Smart Sensors generate and receive data and information which goes beyond traditional switching signals or measured process parameters. They therefore enable substantial increases in efficiency, more flexibility, and better planning security for preventative system maintenance. Depending on the requirement, Smart Sensors cover up to four dimensions of smart sensing.
Challenges
Flexible automation
The trend for small lot sizes and the fulfillment of individual customer requirements dictate the need for enhanced flexibility and also efficient production. A multitude of sensors and solutions from SICK, comprising a range of designs, functions, and modes of operation, play a decisive role in meeting this requirement.
Safety
The interaction between man and machine and the harsh ambient conditions that can sometimes be present pose particular challenges with respect to safety technology in the machine tools industry. With this in mind, SICK offers an exceptionally broad portfolio of safety solutions, all of which are characterized by how well they can be integrated in your control system. This is also accompanied by a comprehensive service package which includes consultation, commissioning, training, and education.
Quality control
SICK offers the matching solution for all quality control applications: Photoelectric proximity sensors to check that materials are present in the production process, distance sensors for precise measurement of workpieces, vision sensors to monitor production features, and 3D vision systems for high-end testing. This ensures that the high quality level demanded is achieved.
Track and trace
For automated production processes, workpiece-specific production data is supplied using bar codes on a document. This can then be scanned to enable the corresponding machine programs to be converted automatically. It must be possible for suppliers (e.g., in the automotive industry) to uniquely trace the components they have manufactured. SICK provides practical solutions for these requirements: Stationary code reading systems, mobile bar code scanners, and RFID solutions.
