Safety laser scanners
Increased flexibility with SICK safety laser scanners
Whether mobile or stationary applications, for area protection or access protection, our comprehensive portfolio of safety laser scanners offers the right solution for every requirement. We are in the vanguard when it comes to scanning ranges, scanning angles, usability, integration in industrial networks, and innovative technologies:
- A very large 2D field can be covered thanks to the 275° scanning angle of microScan3
- S3000 has a protective field range of up to 7 m
- S300 and S300 Mini have a multitude of field sets in a very compact housing, in order to secure mobile and stationary systems
- Highly resistant to ambient light and dust, thanks to the innovative microScan3 safeHDDM™ scan technology.

Safety light curtains and multiple light beam safety devices
Optical protection – for maximum freedom of movement and productivity
Modern machine concepts must take into account the requirements of the end customers: They must be flexible and customer-oriented, but also economical. With a varied product portfolio and specific application knowledge, SICK offers custom solutions for all performance levels.
- SICK safety light curtains meet all present-day challenges. Small, compact, or extremely rugged for individual application solutions such as hazardous point protection with finger, hand, or person detection as well as access protection with human-material differentiation.
- Single-beam photoelectric safety switches and multiple light beam safety devices offer uninterrupted safety as per your requirements for access protection, with or without muting. Wide scanning ranges of up to 70 m and high signal reserves mean that they can be used in a multitude of applications, even under harsh ambient conditions. Mirror columns and device columns from SICK are used wherever there are no mounting options for opto-electronic protective devices.
- The V300 safety camera system offers perfect adjustment to the machine design, and ensures that there are no blind zones for finger and hand detection. The barrier-free workplace design ensures there is unhindered access to partially automated work processes, such as automated testing, inspection, and assembly machines.

Safe control solutions
sens:Control: The bridge to an intelligent safety solution
With SICK sens:Control, you can fully utilize the potential of the safety sensors. For a perfectly coordinated interaction:- Our modular safety controllers offer the flexibility that you need for your application. They can be integrated into all important industrial networks. The Flexi Line function makes it possible to connect up to 32 Flexi Soft stations safely and link safety functions across multiple machines.
- Thanks to the Motion Control safety controllers and safety encoders, innovative solution concepts are becoming a reality: Safe drive monitoring prevents unintended shutdowns, shortens cycle times, increases availability, and boosts productivity.
- To connect many safety sensors quickly and easily, you need the Flexi Loop safe series connection.
- Für kleine Maschinen und geringe Komplexität der Sicherheitsfunktionen bieten wir auch das passende Safety relay.
