Access

Opto-electronic protective devices monitor access to a hazardous area. The operator interacts with the machine regularly, but not frequently. In the case of access protection for material handling systems, the highest priority is to ensure people are at a safe distance from hazardous materials. Material should flow without stopping the system. However, should a person enter the area, the dangerous movement must be stopped safely.

Buildings and grounds

For the protection of public buildings, industrial complexes, private residences and other properties, electronic protective devices are advisable. They provide excellent augmentation of existing protection such as security guards or structural alterations. The sensors protect against vandalism, theft, and unauthorized entry and exit. Staggered protection from outside to inside enables early triggering of the alarm, which gives security staff more time to act. SICK offers a variety of effective options for property protection.
