Sick Safety Devices - Scanners & Light Curtains

Sick Self monitoring Opto Electronic Protective Devices can be used for safeguarding dangerous points, hazardous areas and access control, both vertically and horizontally. Sick Intelligent Opto Electronic Safety Devices like industrial sensors, laser scanner, light grids and light curtains ensure that workplace areas can be accessed safely and hazardous zones are safeguarded.

Sick Safety Laser Scanners

Sick Safety laser scanner can be used in a wide range of mobile or stationary applications, including non contact area monitoring and access protection. This Sick compact system scans its surrounding in a fan shape and measures distances by using the time of flight principle of measurement. The integrated rotating mirror of this device creates a two dimensional scan for measuring contours. Protective field areas are defined with program logical switching to customise scanner to meet user application requirements.

Sick Safety Camera Systems

Sick Safety Cameras are electro sensitive protective devices which are based on image processing technology. The sender and receiver of the safety camera are integrated into a single housing unit. The Sick compact camera systems do not require additional software and can be commissioned and integrated with ease. Automatic alignment allows high levels of flexibility when defining the protective field and the high degree of freedom in the machine design provide maximum ergonomics for the camera.

Sick Safety Light Curtains

Flexible, cost-saving installation and maintenance with the highest levels of safety

Sick Safety Light curtains are reliable, cost effective protection against access into hazardous points and areas. Sick Light Curtains complete with type 4 and type 2 EN ISO 13839. Depending upon the light curtain variant, different machine functions are integrated and can be selected via safe control solutions. The Sick range of Light Curtains vary from small / compact types to extremely robust, resistant light curtain which can withstand special ambient conditions up to the highest levels of safety.

Sick Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices

Economical, efficient multiple light beam safety devices

Sick Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices are electro sensitive protective solutions with two or more light beams. If one or more of the beams is interrupted, a deactivation signal is sent to the machine so that any dangerous state on a machine or system can be stopped. The Sick light beam system consists of a sender and a receiver. In active / passive systems, the sender and receiver are located in a secure housing unit while a deflection unit on the passive side provides beam deflection.

Sick Mirror & Device Columns

Sick Mirror and Device Columns are commonly used where protection on several sides is necessary or opto electronic protective devices must be positioned in an open room. An entry / exit system is used at the gate for automatic material transport.

The combination of multiple photoelectric safety switches with deflector mirrors provides the ideal solution for perimeter protection. The adjustment of deflector mirrors mounted in sturdy column provides a very straightforward setup and installation.

The robust device columns with the 2 external mounting grooves in combination with muting, brackets and protective plates ensure straightforward, flexible attachment of the muting sensors.

Mirror columns, device columns with external grooves

• Free-standing mounting solution wherever there are no mounting options
• Device protection against external influences
• Compact, robust type and extreme stability
• Simple mounting and adjustment
• Large reflector surface for efficient multi-sided protection via beam deflection Universal application for: (Multiple light beam safety devices / Safety light curtains)
